<<After Sept. 11, 2001, a further thaw looked possible because both Iran and the United States opposed the Taliban government in Afghanistan. But in January, President Bush named Iran, Iraq and North Korea in what he called an "axis of evil." Kharrazi said Iranians were "shocked" by the characterization.>> Glenn -- you must understand that discussions of "regime change" extend throughout the region. The idea is that you get Iraq first, then Iran, then Syria -- etc. The whole concept of the international order is threatened by the idea that we are about to give ourselves the right to invade other countries and dictate the terms by which they will be governed. We provided military support to Iraq to go after Iran in an attempt to change their regime (a war which killed a million people) and we provided support to the Iraqi "opposition" later on to try to kill Saddam. That was the "old" policy. The new policy is to go in ourselves, invade other countries and knock off their leaders, then install "deomocratic" governments. The controversy over Iraq extends well beyond Iraq.
