Exactly and given their past, they're the last people on Earth who would be in favor of real democracy given their own hatred of America then and now. And if they're such "reformists" why aren't they putting their lives on the line demanding an end to the tyranny the Iranian regime imposes upon the people and also in the most intimate aspects of their lives? The so called reformers are not small d - democrats by Western standards. At the most they're technocratic Islamists who want the system to look more popular and competent without changing its true essence. In contrast the majority of Iranians want a form of government where the people have the final say in who rules them.
