Is Juan Cole advocating regime change in Iran? A guest_columnist at his blog certainly seems to be:
It would be a mistake to think that people like Ahmadinejad are reasonable. It is counter productive to base policy on the untenable premise that he would be amenable to a cost-benefit analysis on the nuclear issue. Time and again he has announced that the nuclear issue is off the table. To believe or hope otherwise would be a profound and resonant error.
The option that is left for the United States is either to effectively support Mousavi’s camp today or risk a military confrontation with Ahmadinejad tomorrow.

Do you think regime chain goes back to childhood behavior? Is it possible that people like Cheney or Bush or any of these nutsos were childhood bullies?
And who is Juan Cole? Is he Spanish?
What a wretched article. I hope that commentator knows Mousavi is partially responsible for kickstarting enrichment in the early 80’s and pretty much took the exact same “off the table” stance Ahmadinejad did in regards to their nuclear program.
