This is a review of Michael Ledeen's new book The Iranian Time Bomb. Leeden puts flesh on the bones of a reported WORLD TERRORIST CONFERENCE that took place in Iran well before 9/11 when he says....

...the relationship between Iran and al Qaeda over the years has been so close that it is difficult today not to conclude that Iran was involved in the 9/11 attacks.

He also argues that Iran's nuclear ambitions should not be the the core of US Iranian policy ........

Pointing to the ongoing revolt of the Iranian people as proof that a democratic revolution can succeed if it receives the kind of support that America provided to Soviet dissidents during the Cold War.

Leeden puts foreward the somewhat old idea of supporting {but not doing} a regime change in Tehran - a thought that lead many people to comment "wrong war" when the allies decided to invade Iraq. Leeden warns........

There are two ticking clocks in Iran today: the countdown to Iran's nuclear arsenal, and the systematic failure of the regime at home. The destiny of the region, and perhaps the world at large, will likely be determined by which deadline arrives first;

If there is no peaceful change in the current Iranian regime, the United States will be faced with two terrible alternatives: either accommodate a nuclear Iran determined to create a global caliphate modeled on the bloodthirsty regime in Tehran, or bomb Iran and deal with all the unpredictable consequences that entails;

There will never be adequate security in Iraq so long as Iran is in the grips of the theocratic fascist regime now in power. While it is understandable that policymakers do not want to face this mortal threat, there is no way out. The mullahs have proven they will attack us until they either win or lose.
