I'm afraid that if Ahmedi-nejad tried any such thing the "regime"--
meaning the security services, the Council of Guardians, the Council
of Experts, and Supreme Leader Khamenei--would just roll over him
and go on its bloody way, leaving him sputtering in the dust alongside
his unfortunate predecessor Khatemi.  Look what happened when he
advanced the liberal notion that women should be permitted (segregatedly
of course) to attend football matches!
