re: corrections to 5943 - Iran / Iraq

correction - 7th paragraph:

Contrary to recent concerns regarding Iraq, the US does not covet ownership of the oil - but ready access to the oil at reasonable market prices. Ownership is irrelevant.

correction - 16th paragraph:

Why are there the beginnings of pro-Core change in Iran now? I'd argue that this change is the fruit of a 20-year gestation and growth cycle, which began when the Shah, and the projection of US dollars and arms that kept him in power, were terminated. I'd further argue that the length of this growth cycle can no more be sped up nor skipped than a human embryo's 9 month growth cycle in the womb.
