Nice link. Thanks.
Loved this bit:
Quote:"Politics should be pure, clean and honest," he says. "Reform is just getting back to what we wanted from the revolution in the first place."
It's almost 25 years since Montazeri and his fellow clerics in Qom, two hours south of Tehran and Shia Islam's theological capital, declared Iran the world's first Islamic republic. Now he contemplates whether they made an error. "No, it wasn't a mistake," he says after a silence. "We had a revolution because people wanted something to change -- it just hasn't happened."
His first line is oxymoronic, or just plain moronic.
The second shows the risks of religion and politics mixing a bit too closely.
