Iran

So, am I being hopelessly optimistic in thinking Mousavi is the point of the spear of a New Iran. Have the years of being away from the center of political life given him a new perspective. Is he a worthy leader of those millions of courageous Iranians who clearly want to see real change in their backward ass country?
Or ... is Charles right?
The Diminuitive One offered today that Mousavi was the face of a potentially potent political bloc determined to take over control of the nation as The Great Leader's health fades. Are they simply the out-of-power gang in a high stakes Iranian power play?
If so, they may come to regret letting the genie out of the bottle. The Iranian people, at least millions of younger Iranians, are intoxicated with the idea that they can make real change happen.
That's a dangerous factor for tyrants and would-be-tyrants to ponder.
