What if the faction of the Guard that wants to overthrow the current regime is even more radically Islamist or turns out to be?
I might trust the population or even the segment that wants more liberalization, eg the students and young, but a split in the most radical segment of the current regime doesn’t necessarily mean an improvement.
It might only be a struggle between the Girondins and the Jacobins with the result a Reign of Terror with a new Robespierre.
There have been stories about Khameni, the Grand Ayatolla, wanting to rid himself of Ahmedinijad, the crazy he installed as head of government. Seems the Amedinijahd has gotten too big for his britches. What if this 'split' in the Revolutionary Guard merely reflects a split between these fanatics? A pox on both their houses.
