Rice signals harder line on Iran
LONDON, England (CNN) -- In a move likely to rattle Iran's rulers and frustrate allies in Europe, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has signaled that the Bush administration is adopting a harder line towards Iran -- but she has stopped short of explicitly calling for regime change.

"The Iranian people should have a chance to determine their own future," Rice told reporters en route to London on her first international trip as secretary of state.

"They should be no different from the Palestinians or Iraqis or other peoples around the world."

Setting up another invasion. Fuck Condi, fuck them all. "Determine their own future"? The irony is unbearable.

3. What is the expiration date on that chance?
..."The Iranian people should have a chance to determine their own future," Rice told..."

How long do they have to knuckle under before we do it for them?
