THE war in Iraq is her father?s business but Elizabeth Cheney, the American vice-president?s daughter, has been given responsibility for bringing about a different type of regime change in Iran.
Cheney, a 39-year-old mother of four, is a senior official in the State Department, which has often been regarded as hostile territory by Dick Cheney?s White House team. Nonetheless father and daughter agree it would be better for the mullahs? regime to collapse from within than to be ousted by force.
The question is whether democratic reform can be achieved before Iran becomes a nuclear power. That is the younger Cheney?s job. In the State Department she is referred to as the ?freedom agenda co-ordinator? and the ?democracy czar? for the broader Middle East.
Her official title is deputy assistant secretary of state for Near Eastern affairs and she is in charge of spending the $85m (?48m) ? up from $10m last year ? recently allocated to promote democracy in Iran. Much of it will be spent on broadcasting the views of exiles, dissidents and reformers inside Iran.
Cheney is better known to Iranian listeners of Voice of America?s Persian service than she is to Americans, although she publicly backed her sister Mary?s right to privacy when Democrats made an issue of her lesbianism in the 2004 election.

Cheney also heads the Iran-Syria Operations Group (ISOG), a unit within the State Department's Bureau of Near Eastern Affairs. ISOG has an $80 million budget to promote democracy in Iran and to develop administration policy for Iran and Syria.
