"Regime change" is not a phrase we're likely to hear from the Obama administration. Even the Bush White House scrapped it after overthrowing Saddam Hussein five years ago. Today, America's stress is on diplomacy, and President-elect Barack Obama will take office having promised to negotiate, without preconditions, with the likes of Iran. In the post-unipolar order, America doesn't overthrow tyrannical governments that threaten the free world with weapons of mass murder; America tries to multilaterally "manage" them.
