I've Been Thinking:

Former Iranian president Mohammad Khatami gave a speech in Western Iran yesterday during which he aggressively criticized the Ahmadinejad regime.
Khatami led Iran from 1997 to 2005.
The next election in Iran is scheduled for June 12, 2009.

This attack by Khatami was the beginning of a reformer front to wrestle the leadership away from the Ahmadinejad camp.
Khatami said that Iran is unnecessarily in danger because of the aggressive speechifying by Ahmadinejad.
Khatami asserted that the published inflation rate of 26.9 percent is inaccurate and falls far under rates real inflation numbers.

Reformers in Iran want change.
Reformers in Iran do not want a liberal democracy or love fest with the West.
Reformers in Iran do not want the kind of change that the West wants.
Reformers in Iran want Ahmadinejad out and a stable economy in.
That is the platform Reformers used to make made headway in the recent parliamentary elections. And that is their tact now.
