Reformers Seek to Oust Iran's President

Our coverage on the continuing Iranian crackup continues with this from the Guardian:

A grand coalition of anti-government forces is planning a
second Iranian revolution via the ballot box to deny President Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad another term in office and break the grip of what they call the
"militia state" on public life and personal freedom.
Encouraged by recent
successes in local elections, opposition factions, democracy activists, and
pro-reform clerics say they will bring together progressive parties loyal to
former president Mohammad Khatami with so-called pragmatic conservatives led by
Ayatollah Hashemi Rafsanjani.

...opposition spokesmen say their broader objective is to
bring down the fundamentalist regime by democratic means, transform Iran into a
"normal country", and obviate the need for any military or other US and western
intervention.

Further proof sanctions, shows of force, and tough talk is working. Much better than putting on a scarf and making nice with tyrants and oppressors.
