No good side of chaos

Six years of George Bush is enough to make one's eyebrows arch when there is a "terrorist" attack in Iran just as the administration seeks to ratchet up tension with the country. And in a week when Bush supporters had been calling for "quiet" military action against Iran. And when Michaels Ledeen and Rubin are suddenly very busy at The Corner documenting signs of supposed chaos inside Iran, with Ledeen asserting "A good time for President Bush to finally call for regime change."

But among the many reasons to be careful for what you wish for: if, as circumstantial evidence suggests, the unrest in eastern Iran is due to separatism in Baluchistan, this would be a major headache for Pakistan -- an issue that came up in a seemingly unrelated context here over a year ago.
