Bush, Putin focus on arms in Iran, N. Korea; set aside differences on Iraq.(Chicago Tribune)
Byline: Alex Rodriguez
ST. PETERSBURG, Russia _ President Bush and Russian President Vladimir Putin jointly urged Iran and North Korea to abandon their nuclear weapons ambitions Sunday, but they left unresolved U.S. assertions that Russian nuclear know-how is helping Iran's theocracy become a nuclear power.
Meeting for 45 minutes inside a czarist palace that Putin refurbished for his native city's 300th anniversary celebration, the two leaders went out of their way to assure the world that their opposite views on the war in Iraq had not left any lasting scars _ either on their friendship or their countries' burgeoning partnership.
That relationship has "turned out to be stronger than the forces and events that tested it," Putin said.
Bush went further, saying disagreements over the war strengthened U.S.-Russian relations.
"We will show the world that friends can disagree, move beyond disagreement, and work in a very constructive and important way to maintain the peace," Bush said.
Nonetheless, they did not reach full accord on Iran, which the U.S. has long believed is secretly trying to develop nuclear weapons capability.
