"It is not possible that only one person run the country. There have to be laws and the Supreme Leader is also in the law. There have to be a law because one person cannot rule 70 million people."

Ayatollah Dastgheyb, senior religious figure and a member of the Assembly of Experts, for the anniversary of the Islamic Revolution while criticizing the current situation of the country said: Armed force should not interfere in political affairs, but it seems like today all the affairs of the country is in the hands of Revolutionary Guards and police and people have no say or will and this is the basis of the diversion from the principles of the revolution.

No, one person cannot. But, Saddam Hussein proved that one person backed by a relatively small minority of very well-armed men can.

I know we would all like to believe that the Mullahs are losing their grip on that country. They aren't. They faced a few months of significant civil unrest and protest. Since then, they've hanged perhaps as many as 5,000. Magically, the unrest has ebbed.
