Double or nothing with Iran

Constantine Menges of the Hudson Institute offers this commentary in the Washington Times about Iran’s efforts to bring about a pro-Iranian regime in Iraq, or at least in large portions of that country. The issue may boil down to this: can we find a way to help the Iranian people remove their unpopular theocratic rulers before these rulers succeed in gaining control over the Shiite institutions in Iraq, and thereby undermine our efforts to promote a moderate constitutional government there.
