You talked about this velvet revolution and Ali Khamenei's abstract fear of this. Do you feel this is the primary motivator behind their behaviour as far as the nuclear race is concerned and as far as keeping their citizens subjugated in the way they do is concerned? Do you feel it's a hatred towards Israel? Do you feel it's their need to be the most powerful nation in the world? Is there one of these items that is pre-eminent?
