Louis Farrakhan Calls for U.S. 'Regime Change'
Speaking at a press conference in Cuba this week, Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan said that the U.S. government needs "regime change" and called on the Muslim world to rally in defense of Iran. "We need a new government, we need regime change in America," he told reporters in Havana, in quotes picked up by Reuters. In the next breath the radical minister urged that "the Muslim world should unite against America's desire for a pre-emptive strike against Iran and Syria." He defended Iran's right to develop a nuclear energy program to reduce global dependence on oil, insisting that Washington's opposition was just a pretext for a war.

Last month Farrakhan blamed Israel for the U.S. invasion of Iraq, telling a Chicago audience: "These neo-cons and Zionists have manipulated Bush and the American government and our boys and girls are dying in Iraq and in Afghanistan for the cause of Israel, not for the cause of America!" "Israel is the tail waggin' the dog, which is America," the Muslim leader insisted.
