Change Iran at the Top
Nothing could better symbolize Iran s 30-year-old regime at the limit of its contradictions. A supreme leader imagined as the Prophet s representative on earth Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini s central revolutionary idea now heads a militarized coterie bent, in the name of money and power, on the bludgeoning of the Iranian people. A false theocracy confronts a society that has seen through it.
