Counterterror specialists look for ``chatter'' in Islamic extremist circles preceding an attack. There is a lot of chatter going on today in Washington -- only this time, it is about an American attack on Iran.
In seminars and hallways, there is eager anticipation of an airstrike against Iran's nuclear facilities. Sure, the talk goes, we may not get all those buried nuclear labs. But a few waves of cruise missiles and bombers will set Iran's program back several years, enough time to pursue regime change in Tehran.

I also have heard a lot of chatter in Washington D.C., where I live, about how the U.S. is getting ready to bomb Iran. I have not heard anything about the targets, though, but nuclear facilities makes sense.

I hope you mean that the regime change will happen from within Iran, and you are not hoping for a U.S. military invasion. The chatter over here is that we don't have enough troops to get the job done in Iraq, so I don't think that a move into Iran will happen anytime soon...that is, if Bush does not call for a draft, of course
