Quote du jour

According to Juan Cole quoting Al-Hayat, an Iranian official joked recently that the US doesn't need to invade Iran:

He said that the US had invaded Afghanistan and established an Islamic republic there. Then it had done the same thing in Iraq. Since Iran has had an Islamic republic for 27 years, he said, there really isn't a point in a US invasion.

Unfortunately--since when has the Cheney administration needed a point? Invasion is an end in itself for these criminals.
