What is the ‘color’ of the majority opposition to mullahs? Are there any Kemalist-likes?
In the past, and to some extent even now, others who oppose the regime have tried to use the "reformists" as a springboard for gradually changing the current regime. However, that has not been successful for the reasons I mentioned in previous post. The 'hardliners' although fewer in numbers, are brutal and control different sectors within the regime. They will never allow an inch, because they know, the moment they do, they will lose control, power, money, influence and most likely their life.
In my view, and based on what we've witnessed so far i.e. the failures (lessons-learned). Any regime change will have to be by force. That force will require multiple leverage points.
