An important question that those who follow Iran's political developments keep asking is, Who is the ultimate power in Iran, Ayatollah Sayyed Ali Khamenei and the clerics around him, or the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps?]]></description>

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>
