Rice Is Seeking Millions to Prod Changes in Iran

The scope of the administration's effort goes beyond the numbers. Until now, the United States has been cautious about supporting dissident groups, fearful that Iranians may view these efforts as an echo of past American meddling in Iran's affairs. Though no one uses the words "regime change" to describe the ultimate American goal, that term has been used by conservatives in Congress who have in the last few years pressed for aid to Iranian dissidents.

Well yeah- we're dumping 85 Million dollars into dissident groups and then we expect them to forget our overthrowing their government? How does that one work?
