Regime change in Iran…is this a new idea? Or might G. W. Bush and Company have thought of it, and kept very, very quiet about what they are up to? Once in a while something is noted publicly, and then we don’t hear about it again. There are a lot of Iranians who are very unhappy with the mullahs. Has no one put two and two together?

Some years ago there were two huge explosions in North Korea. Remember them? Trains derailed, fireballs bloomed; spectacular stuff. Some said the cargoes were military or sensitive, or…. Reports varied, then dried up.

Maybe we have a third option for our Iranian policy. If it works, we shall almost certainly never know anything about it.

The fly in the ointment: imagine Obama’s first intel briefing as the next president. “You idiots are going to do WHAT?? This is the Bay of Pigs all over again! You people are trying to set me up!! I am not inheriting this from that moron Bush, so all you CIA types get out of my Oval Office, and go update your resumes!”

Oops.
