#2 At least partially attributable to Khatami's failures as a person...

Never mind that he's called "moderate"; Khatami's failure is that he's still a member of the mullahcracy.

#3 I remain skeptical that the Medes and Persians have the stones to eliminate this problem. However, the abandonment of faux reform is an extremely positive development as it eliminates the 'middle ground' as Fred notes.

We need to stay the course in Iraq precisely because it can quickly become a source of instability for the Mullahs just as they are not fomenting unrest in Iraq.
