Keep your eyes of the spiritual descendants of khomeini.

Just how many descendants are that? From what we've read here, the Iranian people are growing very tired of their own mullahs.

Mr., what country are you from?

That was a very uplifting and intelligent post, xJones.

Let me try and spell it out for you. The council of guardians, a small, secretive conclave of radical shiite mullahs actually runs Iran. I know, Iran has an "elected" presdent by the name of khatami. A president in name only, a hapless figurehead. A president who doesn't control the military, the police, or the court system. The people of Iran also have an elective legislative body called the Majlis, composed of scores of reformers who together with the neutered president, present an appearance of moderation to the outside world. This "moderation" masks the real movers and shakers in Iran, the brutal, oppresive, council of guardians. The council of guardians will be one step closer to being consigned to the "trash heap of history" if the majorty shiite Iraq cobble together a viable Iraqi state. I would also like to point out to you that the Iranian upheaval in 1979 was the first successful religious revolution in the Islamic world. A revolution that not only threatened the US and the West, but the secular dictators and royal families doting the middle east.

As for what country am I from, what, do I speak with some kind of accent?
