		<description><![CDATA[While the Green Movement can't count on Rafsanjani to support them unconditionally (far from it in fact), the situation has some light at the end of the tunnel in that Rafsanjani is likely seething with anger at how Khamenei is handling things.  His interests will be aligned with those of the Green Movement insofar as sharing the goal of neutering Khamenei, Ahmadinejad and the IRGC, but they will likely diverge when this is accomplished.   The people want freedom.  Rafsanjani wants a comfortable life for Rafsanjani and family]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Who is damaging the Islamic republic?

This question pits two increasingly irreconcilable camps against each other as the debate continues to heat up in Tehran.

To hard-liners, the answer is clear: it is the reformists, who are accused of plotting a "velvet coup." To reformists, it is the hard-liners themselves, whose actions undermine the very system they seek to preserve.

		<description><![CDATA[The people have not sat idly by, and in the past month a clear distinction has been made between the people on one-side, and the regime on the other.  The world has seen the people's aspirations for freedom, and their bravery in the face of terror and the tyranny of a false theocracy.  The world has also seen the last shred of legitimacy that the government of Iran may have held disappear to reveal what can be safely described as a government structured like a mafia that sees itself as God's representative on earth with the right to butcher its own people.  It can't be more clear than that.

The price has been paid in blood by the Iranian people.  And blood has been spilled across every facet of Iranian society.]]></description>

He explained that whatever had happened after the election had caused people to become suspicious and that the government needed to take strides to restore people’s trust otherwise, distrust could result in further more severe problems.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Reports indicate that the reason why Khamenei did not attend the prayers was Ayatollah Montazeri's statements yesterday that denounced the government's suppression of the protesters' 'legitimate demands'. This, according to sources, creates a divide between the powerful clergy which has pressured Khamenei just enough to stop him from giving out another speech of the caliber he gave last week.  Whether Montazeri's current stance will develop into something of a bigger boost to protesters remains to be seen.]]></description>
