Seymour Hersh, the Islamist Right, Iran, and the American Empire

Check out this long but very important piece by independent journalist and writer Tom Englehardt on the "Bush" administration's long term plans for the Middle East. Englehardt brings up excellent points regarding past support for rightist Islamist forces by sections of the U.S. ruling elite, the use of these forces in foreign policy gambles for the purposes of imperial expansion, and the connections all this has to the historical and present relationship between the U.S. and Iran.
