Who\'s Fighting Who in Iran\'s Struggle?

Who\'s Fighting Who in Iran\'s Struggle?

We're told that a young and restless Facebook generation has arisen in Iran, text-messaging and Twittering away at the fabric of a conservative clerical rule that it is no longer willing to accept. Ranged against it are the dogged defenders of a decrepit regime that has outlived its purpose, surviving only through brute force and its ability to convince the unsophisticated, mostly rural poor folk in their ragged suits and black chadors that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is their champion against corrupt politicians and the treacherous intellectuals and amoral rich kids who support them......

Salam,

Its intresting to read a somewhat balanced perspective of whats happening in Iran. In my opinion, both candidates love their country and people;in a sense they are not really very different from each other if eveything is taken into perspective. Mir Hussain and Mahmood Ahmedinejad belong to same ideaology..even if they sing different notes or exhibit varying levels of flexibility.

I wish Iran and the Iranian people, peace and prosperity.
