At a conference in Dubai, neo-con Patrick Clawson, of the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, presented the Bush-Cheney Administration's policy of a military strike against Iran: not "if," but "when." Lyndon LaRouche forecast the scenario last year: that if Bush were re-elected, the Administration would proceed immediately with military attacks on Iran and other nations. "Now people are getting it," he commented on the Dubai report, "and they are saying: `Is it true?' Of course it's true! They intend to do it." The policy is generating a storm of opposition in Washington, as well as among America's allies abroad.
