The imperial mistress has decreed that Iran is a threat. It seems to me that we have heard this song before. Once again, the war drums are being beaten as a new threat to the free world is identified. Or a not so new threat. Let's consider what Condi said:
Ms Rice said: "We may face no greater challenge from a single country than from Iran, whose policies are directed at developing a Middle East that would be 180 degrees different than the Middle East that we would like to see develop."
Ms Rice said Iran seemed determined "to develop a nuclear weapon in defiance of the international community".
She added: "Iranian support for terrorism is retarding, and in some cases, helping to arrest the growth of democratic and stable governments [in the Middle East]."
This sounds remarkably like the opening salvo in the propaganda war that led to the stunning victory in Iraq. It could lead to an even greater victory.
