I think this also reinforces that western media is not exaggerating the situation. I wonder how a man like Khatami, who called for ruthless and savage attacks, can live with himself, or if his beliefs are now not much more than a sham and all he cares for is the worldly power the clerics hold. Ditto for Khamanei. Moussavi is becoming a lightning rod for reform and change. Regardless of what happens in the short term, I think there has been a profound shift and things will not return to the way they were. ADM
