    Violence and Diplomacy in the Middle East

    President Bush and Vice President Cheney are just two of the world leaders engaged in a week of crisis diplomacy in the Middle East. Will Iraq’s sectarian violence disrupt the entire region?   Can the US get help from its Middle Eastern allies?   What about Iran? Plus, Britain's announced troop withdrawal from Iraq, and an update on the investigation into the Polonium 210 that killed a former Russian spy, radioactive poison that's been found in several locations in London.
