Well, the signs have been there for a while, but now it is semi-official: If re-elected, Bush will topple the government in Iran. They're even trying out the old link-to-Al-Qaeda gambit.
I'll be amused to hear the neocons blather about "democracy" when and if W makes his play, since Iran already has at least some elements of democracy -- which means that nation's record is rather better than those of Saudi Arabia, Syria, Yemen, Egypt, etc.
Besides, how can Bush of all people argue against a government which mixes a spoonful of democracy into a theocratic stew? Isn't that the recipe he has in mind for America?
So far, administration sources are claiming that they can take down Iran covertly, without military action. If you believe that, there's a sign in Hollywood I'd love to sell to you. Iran ain't going down easy.
