Blix Nixes Iran Regime Change

from the report: "In such states, incentives to acquire nuclear weapons may be reduced by offers of normal relations and assurances that military intervention or subversion aimed at regime change will not be undertaken." Nothing there which will stop the Bush regime, but it's another international entity headed by an authorative figure that rejects Bush's false mandate to conquer in their name. It clearly rejects Bush's militarism in Iraq: "To intervene against states is not quite the same as intervening against individuals. The present intervention by armed force in Iraq is extremely costly in terms of human lives,suffering and the destruction of economic resources." The report also prods the Bush regime to 'take the lead' in nuclear non-proliferation, an obvious allusion to their plans for new nukes with new justifications for their use: "All states possessing nuclear weapons must address the issue of their continued possession of such weapons.All nuclear-weapon states parties to the Non-Proliferation Treaty must take steps towards nuclear disarmament ,as required by the treaty and the commitments made in connection with the treaty 's inde finite extension. Russia and the United States should take the lead." "In both these areas, the US has the decisive leverage," Blix said of the report. "If it takes the lead, the world is likely to follow. If it does not take the lead, there could be more nuclear tests and new nuclear arms races."
