IS IRAN NEXT?

From a certain point of view, Iraq and Iran have a lot in common. Along with North Korea, they were two of the three members of President George W. Bush's "axis of evil." They have both been accused of sponsoring international terrorism. Some believe al Qaeda supporters are hiding in Iran. And weapons of mass destruction? Recent revelations indicate Iran may be further along in its nuclear program than was previously suspected.

Is Iran ripe for revolution? Thousands of students and other private citizens have taken to the streets in the last couple of weeks in Tehran, in what appears to be spontaneous and rare public protest of the unelected government there. How far should the United States go in supporting those protests? Should the U.S. take pre-emptive military action, at least against the suspected nuclear sites?

Is it better to try to contain Iran through closer ties, or should the Bush administration try to bring Iran's current regime down?

Is it really any of our business?

It's not our business AND we are already involved. The student protests are part of the early covert operations that the US had planned for the country. They are phase one.

I think we should bring the Bush regime down.
