2月15日付、「ロイター」の記事よると、ブッシュはイランの「民主化」の為、7,500万ドルの追加予算を議会に要求するつもりであるとの事だ。
ある政府高官は、「これは、イランでのとするラジオ放送の改善やサテライト放送の実施、アメリカ留学を希望しているイラン人学生のための奨学金などにあてられるための予算だ」と語った（この政府高官の名前は匿名であり、現在のところ、これは公式な表明ではないとの事）。
政治アナリストや西側外交筋は、ブッシュ政権がいかにしてイランの｢民主化」を促進するつもりなのか懐疑的であるが(笑）、しかしワシントンの動向に注目しているという。

あの連中の頭の悪さには、ほとほとあきれる。こんな子供だましのことをいって、国民をだませるとでも思っているのか。
Bush wants extra $75 mln to spur Iran democracy
Wed Feb 15, 2006 9:24 AM ET
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President George W. Bush will ask Congress to authorize an extra $75 million to help the United States spur democracy in its adversary Iran, a senior State Department official said on Wednesday.
"This is to support democracy. It will be used to improve radio broadcasts, begin satellite broadcasts and include money for scholarships for Iranian students to come to the United States," said the official, who asked not to be named because the announcement was not yet official.
Political analysts and Western diplomats are skeptical of how effective U.S. programs to promote democracy in Iran can be but note Washington has few other policy options when it is seeking to influence Iranians.
Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will ask later Wednesday at a congressional hearing for the money in a supplemental budget request for fiscal year 2006, he said. The 2006 budget already has $10 million for such programs.
The United States, which cut diplomatic ties with Iran after the 1979 revolution, is locked in a standoff with the Islamic republic to curb what it suspects are programs to build a nuclear bomb.
But the Bush administration has emphasized in recent weeks that it is not at odds with the people of Iran and said it wants to help them win freedoms from their government.
Bush has made spreading democracy, especially in Muslim countries, a centerpiece of his foreign policy.
