We are broadcasting to the Iranian people. This will surely give them hope that they are not forgotten. And on the eve of war with Iraq, could this voice of reassurance combined with the strong presence of the U.S. military in Iraq embolden the Iranian people to overthrow the mullahs?
It would be nice to get a relatively easy one in between dealing with Iraq and North Korea. Easy for us, in the sense of not requiring heavy duty diplomacy or military power to induce change. For the Iranians themselves, this will be pretty darn difficult and possible costly. I think we’ve given them hope that sacrifice will lead to a better Iran.
