Who’s next, Iran or Syria?

In a speech on Sunday, Secretary of State Colin Powell gave further clues as to who will be next on the Bush administration’s list for disarmament, a.k.a. regime change. While it would appear more likely that Syria would be next due to their “support” of the “Iraqi regime”, it is quite possible that Powell started off the verbal stage of the attacks on Iran by mentioning the “pursuit of weapons of mass destruction”, something that would undoubtebly go down well with the lemming brigade at home if the seat warmer that is the invasion and occupation of Iraq goes reasonably well. “Reasonably well” of course merely refers to a lack of attention from the corporate media and not necessarily a better state of affairs as the case of Afghanistan has beautifully illustrated since the regime change was officially finished.
