Iran, a Real Look at the Country's Peoples

Iranians can not vote to get rid of their supreme leader, even though the majority of the country does want reform.

Actually, the system is quite complex and includes certain balances (Wikipedia). But does it matter if you already know what majority wants?

The majority wants reform, they proved that in 1997 and 2001 (like I said before). However, the more they feel threatened, the more they will want a hard-line, anti-western government.

No question they would. Being in existence much longer than any of the states in the West, they should be able to sort out their problems without foreign interference. Especially of the kind that puts despotic (but friendly to the West) regimes on their necks.

Does this not go against the results of the December 15th Assembly elections? It was the anti-westerners who lost a LOT of ground.
