Election a Coup - Former President of Iran, Mohammad Khatami

CBS News: Reports that a Former President of Iran, Mohammad Khatami has called the recent Presidential Election a Coup. This comments show the split with the ruling elite, you have moderates in the politics of Iran who want to preserve the Revolution of 1979 and thus accept the need for reforms, more freedom and better relationship with the West, in this case the Obama White House, but lets be clear the also want the bomb. On the other hand you have the Conservatives in the politics of Iran, they don't see the future, they see only the past, they don't see the need for reform and freedom, they have allowed their ideology to counter the real world. Thus they have stolen the election, blocked any reform, they are acting like North Korea. As stated in previous post, the Conservatives have taken a stand that they cant go back on, thus expect more repression, and when the revolution comes expect bloodshed.
