A point I intended to make in my previous screed was that while the Iranian moderates are popular, the bad guys are in control of the seats of power such as the national guard and police. Khatami has to walk on political eggshells.

The median age of the Iranian population is only 25 now and it is the young people who are the most liberal and outward looking. Even though the government tried to warn against public demonstrations, there were spontaneous, happy demonstrations in public after our defeat by Iran in World Cup play.

It has been 20 years since the Shah was overthrown. Since then tens of thousands of Iranians were killed in the war with Iraq and the Iranian economy is still in bad shape. A whole new generation has come along with a different perspective. It is only a matter of time until the old conservatives are replaced. I think there is reason to hope for positive change in Iran.
