a token lefty HOME Monday, 24 November 2003 Regime change the new norm Before the Iraq invasion, ending regimes was just not the done thing – well, it was done a lot, actually, but always under a cloak of secrecy and spin. Defence Minister Robert Hill provided an insight into the new international norms when speaking to the ABC last week. He said now was the time not only "to lock in the gains achieved through ending the regime of Saddam Hussein but also to lock in the opportunity for the Iraqi people to build a better future". No, it’s not all about oil. Nor WMD, nor US politics. It’s about reshaping the world in our image. Sovereignty? Schmovereignty.
