U.S. Senator Sam Brownback seeks regime change in Iran

01 June 2006 [19:17] - TODAY.AZ
Senator Sam Brownback, a Republican from Kansas, Senator Ron Wyman, a Democrat from Oregon, and the senior Democrat on the House International Relations Committee, Tom Lantos of California, issued a statement to the effect that "in the global war on terror, our next strategic, surgical focus needs to be Iran."

Moreover according to Mr Lantos "there has been an enormous amount of attention and emphasis lately on Iraq, which I think is appropriate. But there has been very little discussion of the equally pernicious and dangerous nature of the Iranian regime."

Accordingly the three lawmakers are proposing to introduce a resolution declaring that legitimizing the existing regime in Iran "stifles the growth of democratic forces" and that "positive gestures" should be directed toward the Iranian people "and not the political figures whose survival depends upon preservation of the current regime."
