Media flagstones towards war with Iran

So, the nuclear moralists in Washington have no problem with Israeli, Pakistani, and Indian nuclear weapons, developed and stockpiled with contemptuous disregard for the Nonproliferation Treaty. But the White House and talking heads of U.S. television are insisting that Iran has no right to do what the treaty allows it and other signers to do - develop nuclear power, ostensibly to generate electricity.

The latest U.S. media uproar about Iran's nuclear program is part of a dream starting to come true for neocons in Washington who fantasize about "regime change" in Tehran. More realistically, for the nearer term, the Bush administration is setting the agenda for a U.S. air attack on Iran.
