So now the truth comes out! This is yet another attempt at regime change in the guise of WMD control: "Cheney was dead set against it," said one former official who sat in many of those meetings. "At its heart, this was an argument about whether you could isolate the Iranians enough to force some kind of regime change." ... In the end, said one former official who has kept close tabs on the debate, "it came down to convincing Cheney and others that if we are going to confront Iran, we first have to check off the box" of trying talks. And yet, this is what the US agreed to at the end of the hostage crisis: Essential to the Algiers Accords and reportedly a non-negotiable requirement of Iran that the Carter Administration reluctantly conceded was Point I: Non-Intervention in Iranian Affairs. It reads "The United States pledges that it is and from now on will be the policy of the United States not to intervene, directly or indirectly, politically or militarily, in Iran's internal affairs." ...so much for that!

Hey the 'socialists' of Venezuela want oil to be above $50 bbl from now on. I think the 'socialists' of Canada would be happy with that as well along with the dictators of the Middle East and the religious zealots of Iran. Dubyette hasn't broken a country for three years (well, ok, he did let Katrina break part of the US and leave it broken) so it's high time the little kid gets to rain misery on a few million more. Will this be Israel's first nuclear attack? That would be interesting in the hypocrisy and hell-on-earth passion play. Power is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too concentrated in the hands of a few. It won't fly any longer. The world is too complicated and much too small for this kind of concentration.
