"Even if Baghdad readmits United Nations arms inspectors, the United States will still pursue a 'regime change' policy, with or without the support of its allies."

While spouting platitudes about peace, this administration, as columnist Joshua Micah Marshall asserts, is gunning for "a full-scale confrontation between the United States and political Islam." Even more to the point is Marshall's claim that, "Chaos in the Middle East is not the Bush hawks' nightmare -- it's their plan." |

When Donald Rumsfeld appeared on Larry King in Dec. 2001, for example, he admitted that at 8:00 a.m.on Sept. 11, he told a congressional delegation that "sometime in the next two, four, six, eight, ten, twelve months there would be an event that would occur in the world that would be sufficiently shocking that it would remind people again how important it is to have a strong healthy defense department." Did that raise an eyeball? Or inspire follow-up questions? No. King responded, "You were pretty prophetic that morning."
