Kerry weighs in again, ending on the wrong side of every issue ( after being on all sides of every issue ).

Top US Senator: US no longer wants Iranian ‘regime change’ WASHINGTON (AFP) – The United States no longer seeks "regime change" in Iran and Tehran should respond accordingly by heeding global demands it freeze its suspect nuclear program, a top US senator said Wednesday."We are not in ‘regime change’ mode," Democrat John Kerry, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee told a hearing exploring the prospects for US President Barack Obama’s new policy of engaging the Islamic republic."Our efforts must be reciprocated by the other side: Just as we abandon calls for regime change in Tehran and recognize a legitimate Iranian role in the region, Iran’s leaders must moderate their behavior and that of their proxies, Hezbollah and Hamas," said Kerry…Yes, assuring them that they have nothing to fear from us will bring around the Iranian leaders for sure.

The Kerry ( and clearly the Obama ) position quite cynical and unprincipled, given the totalitarian nature of the Mullahs' regime in Iran. Acquiescing in mullahcracy must be disheartening to the oppressed population. Further, Iran is anything but homogeneous and ripe for supported discord, especially among its disparate ethnic groups.
