Realistically, if the ayatollahs decide to take issue with him they will find a way to have him removed. I lived in Iran during the 10 year period around the revolution. That someone can even be spoken of as a moderate at this time is a good sign, in my opinion. The Shah and Khomeini were locked in personal fight that really set that nation back for decades. Iranians are good decent people, proud descendants of a very noble ancient civilization. I would like to see them modulate for this time in history.
