NeoCon : If The Queen Of England Says Iran Must Have A People Power Revolution, There Will Be One

Michael Ledeen : I Was For Regime Change In Iran Before I Was Never For Military Action Against Iraq

By Darryl Mason

Who knew the Her Maj, Queen Of England played such a large role in the future of Iran?

Who knew Queen Elizabeth II decided whether or not countries outside her realm should suddenly become overwhelmed by the fervour of people powered revolution, backed by British secret service and the CIA, and try to overthrow their leaders?

According to Michael Ledeen, a NeoCon 'scholar', Her Majesty does decide the course of historical events like popular uprisings against fascist and/or totalitarian regimes in the Middle East. In this scenario, Iran :

"...take revolution, for example. If the Americans and the Queen of England want there to be a democratic revolution in Iran it will happen. It will succeed. And conversely, if they don't want it to happen, it can't succeed.

Which is why I think basically (the Iranian people) are waiting to hear clearly from...Her Majesty that it's time for democratic revolution."

Is Michael Ledeen eating special mushrooms, or has he revealed too much information?

Ledeen has something to say about the levels of "carnage" in Iraq and who is responsible for it. Again, probably too much information...or not enough :

"...there is carnage. There are attacks, but compared to a year ago it's 70 per cent less, 80 per cent less, 60 per cent less, I mean, big numbers. Numbers that surprise, frankly, that surprise our own military people who are the ones who have carried it out.

Let's just file that one away as a Ledeen-style Bushism.

We'll move on.

Michael Ledeen also wants it to be known that he was never for the military invasion and occupation of Iraq. For him it was always about revolution in Iran :

"I thought it was a bad idea to...attack Saddam Hussein militarily when there were so many smart political things to do. And I thought we should have started with Iran rather than starting with Iraq."

Is there one single NeoCon left now who will admit that they enthusiastically, evangelically backed the War On Iraq? Without having a thick wad of 2002 interview transcripts waved in their face, that is.

Here's an example of Ledeen expressing his opposition to the use of violence to get rid of Saddam Hussein :

One can only hope that we turn the region into a cauldron, and faster, please. If ever there were a region that richly deserved being cauldronized, it is the Middle East today...

And here's Ledeen expressing his concern for casualties in Iraq, and other Middle East war zones :

I think the level of casualties is secondary. I mean, it may sound like an odd thing to say. But all the great scholars who have studied American character have come to the conclusion that we are a warlike people and that we love war.

Seeing as Michael Ledeen is a 'resident scholar' at the American Enterprise Institute ("You Want A War? We Can Make It Happen!"), we should make mention of some of the other valuable insights and breaking news he supplies during this interview :

* 90% of the streets of Baghdad are now so safe, Western journalists can go to the shops, get a haircut and do their jobs.

* Western journalists are now leaving the Iraq 'post-war zones' because there is not enough violence to write about.

* The new peace in Iraq can't last however, because Iran and Syria won't let freedom reign.

* NeonCons, like Leeden, now view Iraq as a "battle" that has been "won", but the war is not over because Iraq was just one "major battle" in a larger "regional war".

* Iranians thinks that the British Secret Service and the CIA run the world, and control historical events in Iran, and for good reason.

* President Bush is not planning to strike Iran militarily. Unless, of course, they nuke Israel, or if Israel is forced to shoot down a "nuclear tipped missile in mid-flight". Then Iran gets smashed.

* The United States will not go to war again based on an intelligence assessment, because even the intelligence community no longer believes what intelligence assessments claim to be reality.


So to summarise : a democratic revolution in Iran needs the support of Queen Elizabeth II; even American intelligence agents don't believe their own intelligence reports; the Iranians are right about the CIA and British Secret Service really running the world, or Iran at least; there will be no war on Iran unless a nuclear bomb either detonates inside Israel or is shot down on its way there and Katie Couric can walk down nine out of ten streets in Baghdad today without heavy security, go get a haircut and survive to file a 'local colour' story for CNN.

Let it never be said again, by anybody, that NeoCons like Michael Ledeen and the hermetically-sealed-against-reality inmates of the American Enterprise Institute don't have any idea what's going on in the world today.

Clearly the likes of Michael Ledeen know much more than you or I do about the true power of Queen Elizabeth II and her involvement in the fermenting of people power revolutions in the Middle East.

Now forget you ever learned this. Life is easier that way.
