world tribune: Perle: U.S. also seeks regime change in Iran, Libya, Syria

ABU DHABI — The United States will not be satisfied with toppling
Saddam Hussein, but also seeks to change other regimes throughout the Arab
world. Richard Perle, chairman of the U.S. Defense Advisory Board, said the
regimes include those in Iran, Libya and Syria. Perle told Arab
journalists during a trip to London last week that the U.S. tactic would differ for
each country. Perle, who is close to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld,
is said to be one of the architects in the Bush administration on the
policy of the toppling of the Saddam regime, Middle East Newsline reported. He
has played a leading, if behind-the-scenes role in diplomatic, political
and military aspects of the current Iraqi-U.S. confrontation as well as the
war against terrorism. Change is needed in all those three countries [Iran,
Libya and Syria], and a few others besides," Perle told the
London-based
author and analyst Amir Taheri.
