You do understand they would be threatened by this objective? I do understand that the regimes would be threatened. I don't think the countries would be threatened. When Friedman talked about rapprochement, he didn't specify the regimes but simply listed the countries.

Iraq doesn't need any stinkin' election. This guy makes it pretty clear that he has figured out he is calling the shots. Maybe Dubya can invite him to Crawford. The ayatollah's secular power is clear: his insistence on direct elections for a transitional national assembly before Iraqi sovereignty in June drew up to 100,000 supporters to Baghdad's streets on Monday and left the Bush administration scrambling to salvage plans for a caucus-style selection.
