Nikahang Kowsar: Mousavi talks about the "Golden Years" under Khomeini, Karroubi is nostalgic for the "Dear Imam", Khatami supports Velayate Faghih, Rafsanjani addresses Khamenei as the "Dear Leader".... Now do you get it why Ben Ali escaped and Seyyed Ali is still in power?
Jahanshah Javid: All the Leader's Men
They are all still under the umbrella of velayate faghih. Just like in 1979 when even Bakhtiar and other tolerated internal opposition figures did not speak about abolishing the monarchy. They all want to make reforms from within, when it is too late, when reform has lost it's meaning, when there's nothing worth reforming, when the system is rotten to the core.
