Sikander:
"But we are not going to give France a blueprint of our operation months in advance, because we fear that they will turn it over to our enemies just like they did in Serbia."
Could you please explain what you are talking about ?
"Now the new regime is getting into position, and Iran has the same reasons for being the enemy of the new regime, except that #1 above is replaced with Shiia vs Secular."
Secular ? That's why there is pretty much a consensus to have some version of sharia law, and call it a muslim Republic, I assume ?
"One way that the hard liners think that they can increase their popularity is to foment an international crisis with the U.S."
And dubya is playing along. Brilliant.
"What better way to do that than to try to minimize or destroy the gains the U.S. has made in Afghanistan by undermining the new government and allowing Al Qaida to escape?"
Iran has an interest in a stable Afghanistan (and one that clamps down on the drug trade, especially), and in the Hazara minority. Every political faction has an interest in seeing the US out of the region sooner than later, and allowing the Taliban & co a hideout would be counterproductive. Some elements in Iran may look beyond their schism and support them, but that's far from the simplistic rants from Rumsie.
"They start with an assumption popular with the tiny class of people who make up the members of the British press that the U.S. is run entirely by insane clowns..."
How can you blame us, after seeing Ronnie and dubya ?
"U.S. troops hundreds of miles from Mecca are not an affront to Islam under even the most militant interpretation of the Q'uran"
It only takes a slightly fundamentalist or political interpretation of Islam to take that as an affront.
"but are perceived as a real obstacle to the overthrow of the secular regime in Saudi Arabia."
ROTFL. Secular ? What kind of freaky definition of "secular" do you use ? LOL.
