| US 'regime change' will not stop in Baghdad: Iranian FM |
| 2003-01-05 |
| The United States' aim of carrying out "regime change" will not stop in Baghdad, Iranian Foreign Minister Kamal Kharrazi said, accusing Washington of seeking to assure Israel's regional dominance. Excellent analysis, Kamal... "United States policy is not limited to Iraq, as the Americans want to change a number of regimes in the region so that Israel will be dominant," the foreign minister said, without saying which governments were next on Washington's list. The Soddies might be higher on the list than Iran is. There's a good chance the Iranians will hang Kamal on their own, without any U.S. troops in sight. He labors under the misapprehension that if there were a dozen western-style democracies living in the Middle East that we'd choose the Israeli side in every dispute because they're Israelis. And that it would matter if we did... "Every country must try to prevent the United States from attacking, by resolving the Iraq problem by diplomatic means," he added. Perhaps you could send a crew of crack diplomats to shoot Sammy? But Kharrazi said he was confident the United States would not attack Iran, which US President George W. Bush has lumped into an "axis of evil" along with Iraq and North Korea. They really take that "axis of evil" designation to heart, don't they? It's just words — kind of like "the Great Satan." "The United States will not attack Iran, because Iran is not Iraq and has not violated any international rules," Kharazi asserted. "Well, maybe a few, having to do with sponsoring international terrorism..." "The US is trying to strike blows against us and does constitute a threat for our country, but this does not mean they will attack us militarily." Certainly not. We're expecting them to fall, pulled down by the weight of their own corruption and brutality. |

| #1 There acting like a jealous neighbor: " say, what's wrong with me, not worthy enough of your wrath? I'm just as important a member of the axis of evil as Iraq." In fact, its sort of odd that both NorKor and Iran seem to be going out of their respective ways to compete for whose next! |
