#1 *shakes head* Khatami should be given the benefit of the doubt. The man is definitely TRYING, while Pahlavi just palavers and does nothing.

Here's what Khatami should do, but we should be ready to back him up: He and the Iranian parliament should pull up stakes and run into Iraq, where our military would shield them. He would then proclaim the supremacy of the people, whom he represents, over the mullahs, and authorize the Liberation of Iran by American Troops. This gives us an excuse to bomb the nuke plant before it goes online, send SF into Iran, and support the Students. This should take place within six months of the fleeing of the Iranian President and Parliament to preserve it's legitimacy to call fresh elections under United States Army supervision.

#2 Ptah, if we can discern that Rumsfeld and Powell play bad and good cop, why do you presume that Ali Khameini and Khatami can't do the same?

Khatami should be given the benefit of the bullet.

#3 Wow, the son of a tyrannical monarch. How democratic.

Unlike the "Guardian Council", Khatami is an elected leader.

#4 Good point, Brian. That behavior explains why the Iranian student site derides Khatami so much. Let me mullah it over...
