Iran Ex-Pres Delivers Thinly Veiled Attack On “Undemocratic” Mullahs And Ahmadinejad
Iran’s Official News Agency, IRNA:
Iran’s former president Mohammad Khatami said here Saturday that superficial persons, gripped with their own suspicions, cannot tolerate any opposition against their “truth looking” suspicions.
Head of the International Institution of Dialogue among Cultures nd Civilizations, Hojjatoleslam Khatami told a group of artists and literarymen that the practice by the said group cannot be fair and just.
Elaborating on the Muslim feast of Eid-ul-Ghadir, on which occasion he was delivering the speech, Khatami said the world is more than ever in need of justice, the path laid down by the first Shia Imam, Hazrat Ali (AS).
Elsewhere in his remarks, Khatami called for administration of justice and helping the needy.
He said people should roll up sleeves and try to attain justice, and democracy and decide their own fate.
“Justice, democracy and deciding their own fate are not blessings bestowed to the public by power holders — the things which they (the power holders) refuse to do. People should gain them themselves,” said Khatami.

Sounds like he’s calling for revolution to me. And what kind of justice is he referring to anyways? More women’s rights or less? More freedom or less? More Hizbollah in Lebanon or less? More interference in Iraq and Afghanistan or less?
Words are great. I’m more interested in deeds. And when exactly are Iranians going to rise up and take back their country from their mustifoon leaders?
How about the 12th of never?
