I am not a fan of the conspiracy theory. I just read what everyone says. US hawks urge regime change in Syria and Iran Washington 02/01/2004 Two Washington hawks have sent US President George W. Bush a public manifesto demanding regime change in Syria and Iran, and a Cuba-style military blockade of North Korea backed by planning for a pre-emptive strike on its nuclear sites. The manifesto, presented as a "Manual for Victory" in the war on terror, also calls for Saudi Arabia and France to be treated not as allies but as rivals and possibly enemies. The manifesto is contained in a new book by Richard Perle, a Pentagon adviser and "intellectual guru" of the hardline neo-conservative movement, and David Frum, former Bush speechwriter. The manifesto represents an attempt by hawks to break out of the post-Iraq doldrums and strike back at what they see as a campaign of hostile leaking by their foes in the State Department or in the military top brass. Their publication, An End to Evil: How to Win the War on Terror, demands that any talks with North Korea require immediate abandonment of its nuclear programme. As North Korea will probably refuse such terms, the book urges a Cuba-style military blockade and overt preparations for war. The book calls for end to the rule of Syrian President Bashar Assad, encouraged by shutting oil supplies from Iraq and raids into Syria to hunt terrorists. The authors also urge Bush to "tell the truth about Saudi Arabia" in its backing for "terror-tainted organisations". © The Telegraph Group Limited, London 2003 gulf-news.com
