	Friends of Liberty - Isn't the President Concerned about a Pro-Chinese Puppet Regime in Pyongyang?
		It was because of a judgment that if the Kim Jong-il regime suddenly collapses to create a power gap in the North, a pro-China puppet regime might be set up there, and the fact that under such a situation South Korea totally lacks a means of influencing North Korea, he said...
		If they realized that the possibility for China to grasp the North Korean regime is not an imaginary scenario but a realistic problem over which the administration's top leader could not sleep, the ordinary people wouldn't be able to sleep with ease.
		In the wake of the collapse of the East German regime, Britain and France opposed West Germany's unification policy and Russia hesitated.

	It Was About "Regime Change" from the Get-Go
		Actually, the real reason for the invasion and occupation of Iraq from the get-go has been “regime change” — that is, the installation of a U.S.-approved regime that would do the bidding of U.S. officials, which obviously required, as a necessary step, the ouster of Saddam Hussein from power.
		The primary lie was in misrepresenting the real reason for the invasion; the subsidiary lie was in misrepresenting their belief that Saddam still had WMD as a certainty that he still had them.
		That means no more embargoes, support of brutal regimes, invasions, wars of aggression, occupations, or installation of puppet regimes.

		Vietname had a French puppet regime which was out of sync with its own population and the French couldn't protect their puppet regime any longer against a grassroots revolution.

		All three factors serve to further undermine the legitimacy of this unjust and illegal war waged in violation of the charter of the United Nations.
		Yet, the war's legitimacy, already in crisis in global public opinion, will be completely destroyed if no weapons of mass destruction are actually found - and certified to have been so discovered by a highly credible third agency, and unless it is further shown that UN inspections could not have disarmed them.
		There is little doubt that the United States is embarked on just such a plan, with a puppet regime headed by Iraqi National Congress leader Ahmed Chalabi, long known to be a favourite of Pentagon hardliners.

		While Cheney and Rumsfeld were hailing the demise of the Taliban regime as a “success” in the US “war on terrorism”, an offer of amnesty was being made to its former leaders and fighters to participate in parliamentary elections due next year.
		Rather the real achievement of which Cheney was bragging was the installation of a puppet regime in Kabul to further US strategic and economic ambitions in Afghanistan and the neighbouring resource-rich regions.
