I would add that we shouldn't forget, of course, that the doctrine--in Farsi, velayat-e faqih--on the supremacy of clerical rule continues to apply in Iran, and that the supreme leader, Ali Khamenei, is ultimately in charge.
There's no doubt that the public rhetoric of the government has shifted because of the election of Ahmadinejad in 2005. But given the supremacy of clerical rule and the Council of Guardians, I think the capability of this government to reform, in its current form, is somewhat limited, though I take and agree completely with Ms. Ebadi's point that those within the government are by no means monolithic and that there are people who are reformers who want to do more and would like to push those boundaries.
That said, even if Mr. Khatami were to be elected for a new term as president, I think what we saw when he was elected last time was that his efforts at reform were stifled in substantial regard by the supreme leader and by the Council of Guardians, and ultimately they're the ones in charge, not the president of the country.
So while I agree completely with what Ms. Ebadi said, we have yet to see any evidence that in practice those reformers can get beyond a certain incremental change, which I think frankly is what we collectively in this room want, what many people want, and what the Iranian people, many of whom are young people themselves, want--to get beyond what the current range of the debate might allow to a completely different kind of set of freedoms for the people of Iran.
