Could Bush and Cheney be considering regime change in Iran? Would they be able to carry it off?

It would not surprise me to find out they want to enforce "democracy" in another country.  No they wouldn't be able to pull it off.

i dont think they would dare, they have realized how much a mistake and how much more difficult Iraq was than they expected. They said a few weeks of war, we are still waiting more than 3 years on! Iran is a lot bigger and more powerful than Iraq. Good luck to them if they decide to but i'm sure they won't! By the way you do realize Iran is not in Venezuela, cause that's how your qustion looks!

If the USA or the UN do not get Iran under control--YES.

No, its unlikely to happen, unfortunately.  It was mostly a politcal tactic to get conservatives out and voting.  There was a move a while ago, but Pelosi recently said that the Democratic House would try to reach across party lines.  Given that statement, and the fact that a move to impeachment would probably hurt the democrats politically, its unlikely, I think.\n\nBooger: you do realize that the vice president is impeachable?  A move to impeach Bush would likely impeach Cheney as well since he has had such an active role in Bush's policy.  Even if Cheney did become President, liberals should look at that as a good thing.  Cheney is not nearly so charismatic as Bush, and would be completely unable to pass a conservative agenda.  Bush's strength is in his role as cheerleader.  Cheney's strength is in his role behind the scenes.  Impeaching only Bush and making Cheney president would actually be desriable from a liberal perspective, I think.

No, I don't believe so. I think all of the rhetoric is what you call the October surprise. It's voting time, and all the subjects are coming to the surface just like the last time America voted. You have got to figure, that Russia or China, either one could supply Iran with what ever they wanted anyway. Iran hasn't gotten involved with the Iraq situation, and they could have at anytime. I really believe it's Bush pushing American Military again.

Certainly not in near future means woith one year. However, after pulling forces from Iraq, US will try to attempt on Iran.

Probably not, their people are being led by a corrupt person like George Bush. I think that most of the people in Iran are just plain folks that could care less about destroying us or Israel. It is just the leaders of the country that are bad. Somewhat like Russia. We find out that they are a country made up of people just like us.

I am very concerned over this. As long as we have this administration anything can happen. Did we do anything with international rules in Iraq? If we dont handle Iran with diplomacy and use force we will surely live to regret it.

I think the Bush administration has already lost all credibility.  I doubt they spend much time worrying about that.\n\nTo answer your question, in my opinion, no, we won't invade Iran.  I don't think the American public is prepared to go along with another war when we're already in the quagmire of Iraq.

Using military forces...No.\n\nBUT\n\nI think they will manipulate the World Economy so America collapses under economic ruin...especially if ANY military action is taken against Iran.

Yes. Bush further destabilized one of the most important regions on the planet. Big time. And the Middle East will stay in chaos for decades. Until we leave and the Iranians with their nuke take control of the region.\n\nThe dumbest unilateral US foreign policy move ever. And we ain't seen nothin yet.

Its entirely possible.\nIf the Iranian president continues to use Kruschev-like rhetoric then the west will prepare for the worst.\n\nThe Iranian president wants a confrontation.  He continues to make provocative and frightening statements.  With his boasts and threats he gives the west fewer and fewer channels of diplomacy.  Perhaps he believes he can succeed where Saddam failed.\nThe west will not be a Chamberlain.

No,they won't.If America is smart enough I don't think they'll mess with Iran.'Cos Iran it's not Iraq or Afghanistan.And US doesn't have the financial and human resources to start another war.It would be lost from the start.

Bush is in so much trouble now in the world, with the huge deficits, his admin. scandals , indictments, maybe more to come, Libby, Delay, Goss quiting, no plan for Iraq pulling out, conservatives are attacking each other and now Dick Cheney sticks it to Russia, Iran with a Maniac government copy cats of Bush team, threats, scare tactics, what goes around, comes around.Who knows with this bunch at the White House, I think Bush would say or do anything to try to get his supporters back, even if he tries to nuke Iran, he has no one to support him now.

Nice ideal, but absolutely impossible. If I was an Iranian Leader, I wouldn't even think about it until I saw several American leaders convicted & successfully impeached. He is well aware our leaders speak with forked tongues.\n\nBy the way, what about this alleged nuclear weapons development? Is it any more real than what was in Iraq? It's the same people saying it, folks. Think. They were never found in Iraq because they never existed. You can hide a bomb, or several bombs, where they are difficult to find. Not true for the facilities that make them. Iran has a facility to enrich uranium for power plants.But nothing has been found suggesting bomb grade uranium, or the facilities to make it. And they are under constant inspection. think.

Under Bush anything is a possibility.\nProbably even nuking them.\nFrom Bush's track record, we can see that he cares less for humn lives that are non-American.\nHe would certainly try to nuke them if the need arises.\nPakistan has no reason to nuke Iran. Wrong guess.\nthis might brighten up some of your participants....read on:-\n\nDecember 28, 2005  \nNuking Iran With\nthe UN's Blessing \nOnly the American people can stop it  \nby Jorge Hirsch \nIn the "global war on terror," Iran is the next target, having been designated by the U.S. State Department [.pdf] as "the most active state sponsor of terrorism" in the world. The United Nations has given its blessing, and the U.S. will fill in the blanks. \n\nBefore we analyze this, however, let us ask ourselves: why not Florida instead? In fact, Florida should be way ahead on the list. Family considerations should not play a role in U.S. policy decisions. \n\nLet's compare the cases. For Florida: \n\n\nAt least 15 of the 19 Sept. 11 hijackers had Florida connections. \nThirteen of the 19 were in Florida before Sept.11. \nEight of the hijackers took flying lessons in Venice, Fla. \nFive of the hijackers trained in Florida gyms. \nTwo of the hijackers got drunk in a Hollywood, Fla. bar a few days before the attack. \nInstead, the connections between 9/11 and Iran are much more tenuous, according to the 9/11 Commission: \n\n\n"Senior al-Qaeda operatives and trainers traveled to Iran to receive training in explosives" in 1993. \n"Iran facilitated the transit of al-Qaeda members into and out of Afghanistan before 9/11, and some of these were future 9/11 hijackers." \n"We have found no evidence that Iran or Hezbollah was aware of the planning for what later became the 9/11 attack." \nThe 9/11 hijackers used planes, not explosives. So I very much hope that the Pentagon is revising its Nuclear Strike Plan. A precision-guided missile with a nuclear warhead – or a low-yield nuclear gravity bomb – should be effective in vaporizing both aboveground and underground facilities of Huffman Aviation School in Venice, Fla., with minimal collateral damage. \n\nThe fact is, terrorists do not need "state sponsors" to do their job. The 9/11 hijackers lived in the U.S., rented apartments, opened bank accounts, got drivers licenses, rented cars, took English lessons, had jobs, joined gyms, learned the needed flying skills, bought their box-cutter knives, and blew themselves up in the good old United States. And so will the next terrorists who strike us. \n\nFurthermore, some of the 9/11 hijackers lived and studied in Hamburg, Germany. And they met in Madrid. So are Hamburg and Madrid next on the strike list? \n\nDoes anybody really believe that the "training camps" in Afghanistan played any significant role in 9/11? Can somebody please explain what exactly the 9/11 hijackers learned at those training camps that they couldn't learn elsewhere? \n\nDoes anybody really believe that the purported meeting, which in fact never took place, of Mohamed Atta and an Iraqi intelligence officer in Prague would have played a significant role even if it had taken place? \n\nYet we are embarked in a "global war of terror" in response to the 9/11 attacks that has led to the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan, the U.S. invasion of Iraq, and is about to lead to a U.S. nuclear attack against Iran. \n\nBecause make no mistake, an aerial attack on Iran that will include low-yield nuclear bombs is the next step in the "global war on terror," unless something extraordinary happens to derail it. \n\nThe "Legal" Framework \n\nThe United States invaded Iraq under the pretext of enforcing UN Security Council resolution (UNSCR) 1441. Bush stated in his address to the nation on March 17, 2003, \n\n"On November 8th, the Security Council unanimously passed Resolution 1441, finding Iraq in material breach of its obligati

Technically, yes, but it's doubtful it will happen. Even if the Democrats got a huge majority in the 2006 elections and decided to start the impeachment process, someone would suddenly remember that this would make Dick Cheney the new President and they'd drop the issue immediatly.
