Why Iran?
By Stephen Gowans

The increasingly frequent demonization of Iranian President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad in the Western media has become an integral part of the
stepped-up efforts of Washington, London, the EU-3 and Tel Aviv to bring
Iran under US control, efforts that may, if scattered newspapers reports
are to believed, culminate in the aerial bombing by US or Israeli forces or
both of Iranian nuclear facilities early this spring.

A London Sunday Times article of December 11, 2005 revealed that Israeli
armed forces had been ordered "to be ready by the end of March for possible
strikes on secret uranium enrichment sites in Iran." Scotland's The Herald
(January 10, 2006) echoed the Times' report.
