"Khatami is politically weak."

I think that they're playing good cop - bad cop with us. They stick Khatami out there to say that Iran is moderating, but, at the same time, they continue their nuke development.

We have to be very careful not to take the bait. Fortunately we elected a Republican president, so it's less likely they will be able to pull it off.

Maybe.

Consider this. Last election cycle, Katami's own brother, Mohammad Reza Khatami was banned by the Guardian Council from running for parliamentary office. So were many of his fellow pro-reform party members.

Surely we know that the Council and its Mullahs control Iran.
