Iran and Iraq Parallels

Apropos my previous post about the Senate’s declaring that Iran is committing acts of war, we have the Iraq Liberation Act
of 1998 which proposed a United States policy of favoring regime change in Iraq without thereby authorizing the use of the armed forces. Since real plans for war with Iraq didn’t appear until we had an insane but popular administration in power, the current prognosis isn’t necessarily too bad. Source: David Weigel.
