Taking Down Iran
TOM ENGELHARDT
Why Cheney Won't Take
Down Iran tomdispatch.com — It's
been on the minds of antiwar activists and war critics since 2003. And little
wonder. If you don't remember the pre-invasion of Iraq
neocon quip, "Everyone wants to go to Baghdad. Real men want to go to Tehran..." — then
take notice. Even before American troops entered Iraq,
knocking off Iran
was already "Regime Change: The Sequel." It was always on the Bush
agenda and, for a faction of the administration led by Vice President Cheney,
it evidently still is.
