Yes but in the same way as some European country's, Netherlands being one of them, are still monarchies. These beards are going to be on a leash, some religious leaders have given Moussavi their support, beards are in a pretty bad position at the moment, it says something when the authority of the highest religious leader of a country like Iran is being openly challenged. Kinda sceptical about the army and guards have sided with the regime, since the regime has to hire foreign mercenary's to do the bad things, seems to me that army and the guards are deeply devided and using them is a very big risk. I am really confident that this regime is done for, and that if we help the Iranians things will be better, the Iranians are denying the wish for Islamic states with sharia law legitimacy.
