Iran's reformers put hope in 'New Khatami'
Christian Science Monitor

"Almost everyone knows of that last meeting with the Leader – they know the Leader said not to run, but [Khatami] said he will run," says Isa Saharkhiz, a reformist editor and activist. "It shows that Khatami is tougher than before."

I don't know, but admitting to like the IRI doesn't match with this:
'I love, love Love Iran'.
You can't both love someone and her biggest enemy and oppressor at the same time.
Again why don't you comment under your registered name?

You did not answer my question as why you don't live in Israel? It's no difference when someone agrees with an ideology but disagrees with the package.
Yes you do hear many Iranians who agree with most of the IR policies and disagree with some others admit the flaws with IR. But I have yet to see ONE Israeli who admits the crimes or actions of the Zionist ideology. And you are the clear example.
Next time you want to tell someone to go live somewhere else, think of yourself leaving us and go where you so passionately love, the State of Israel. Similar to many Israeli residents in the US, you guys never lift a finger for this country and contrary to help, you take, take, and take some more. Change policies here so would benefit Israel. What's up with that?
If Israel is so great and "don't chant" down with America, then go and live there. We end up paying for you anyways, either way.
Finally if the US does stop the payments to your regime and people, only the nicest Jews would chant death to here, I would think they would have a fit and do much worse.
We in Iran are much more sophisticated society than you could ever imagine having in Israel. I love, love Love Iran, be it Islamic Republic, that's now my government. Iranian can challenge it, but it's absolutely non of your business. Take that in slowly or you'll injure yourself.

To Tsion catcher: You are Unbelievable

"We pay for ourselves and choose where we live. I like the Islamic Republic ..."

That's the ultimate in hypocrisy, fraud and charlatanism, to say the least.

When one likes, admires, praises the Islamic Republic and constantly tries to shut everybody up in its defense, one chooses to live in a place governed by the Islamic Republic to admire it up close not from afar.

"IR does harm some people and I admit"

Oh boy! you are soooooooooooo contientious to admit that much. "Harm""Some" people? hahahahahahahahhaha Well they seem to be "harming" the youths, students, women, factory workers, teachers, bus drivers, Bahais, Jews, Christians, Sunnis, Homosexuals, etc. etc. etc.

I have already answered that question many times. Israel and the United states are close allies, democratic states with high liberal human value systems. There is no conflict between one or the other. People in Israel don't chant death to America in Israel, and they don't kill Americans, civilians or soldiers and they don't burn flags. Similarly you don't see me complaining about "rednecks" or "zionists", I don't demonize US presidents and indulge in conspiracy theories about how bad America really is.... Do I need to go on?

But thanks for finally admitting that you are an IRI fan who sometimes point to some of its shortcomings. We knew so much, but to hear it from the horse's mouth is always something else. If only others would be so frank... Why didn't you use your usual registered name by the way?

We pay for ourselves and choose where we live. I like the Islamic Republic as you do Israel. IR does harm some people and I admit, you never admit any flaws from your beloved Zionist regime, so I'll ask you, if you love Israel why not go there and live? Back at you. Give an answer or sh** the F up

If I were you I would go to Iran, vote for Khatami and stay there, and would never leave, unlike another infamous extremely opinionated pompous female (or male?) commentator on this Website who regularly goes back to Iran, participates in anti-American demos there, steps on American flag, chants "death to this, death to that" slogans, then hops on another plane and goes right back to America in order to come on this site and englighten us on the advantages of having a brutal theocracy in Iran.

Really?

'it's like most other places, you have to pick the lesser of the two evils. It happens in US, Canada and in Europe too.'

Is that right? Then why don't you go back and live under your IRI and help elect the "ump" you like, if it's like "most other places" including the US and Canada?

What else should one say to reveal one is a mouthpiece of a fraction of the regime in Tehran in all the things that it has decided really matters for its image, I wonder... .
