Khatami: Democracy Only Way to Secure Iran

TEHRAN -- Iran's reformist President Mohammad Khatami, increasingly isolated following the ouster of his allies from parliament, launched a fresh attack on his hardline rivals Wednesday by urging them to respect democratic values.
"The more laws and regulations are overlooked, the more the country will be prone to aggression by the enemy," the president was quoted as saying by the state news agency IRNA.
The prevention of an "enemy" attack " can only be materialised through free elections, freedom of expression, being open to criticism, law abidance by the authorities and respecting the citizen's and human rights," he said.
"Power cannot be achieved without reliance upon public opinion," added the embattled president, speaking during a constitution conference in the northwestern city of Tabriz.
Khatami, whose second and final term in office ends in June 2005, has become increasingly frustrated in his bid to deliver "Islamic democracy" to Iran due to opposition from his more powerful hardline rivals.
Conservatives here wield their power through political oversight bodies, the courts, state media and the security forces.
Khatami's allies in parliament were ousted after the Guardians Council, an unelected political watchdog, barred most reformists from contesting February's polls. _________________ Referendum AFTER Regime Change

Besides the idea, propagated by the "liberal" press in the West, and by the regime's supporters in Iran and abroad, there is also the notion that this murderer is "powerless", that he is merely a symbolic figure and that his powers are overshadowed by the "hardliners."
On the contrary. Khatami is one of the main managers of the Islamic Republic. Far from being a figurehead in comparison with the "Supreme Leader" Khamenei, who is an illiterate thug, people like the Supreme Leader exist in order to deflect attention from the actual "brains" behind the Republic.
This is why a possible regime-sponsored "referendum" in the future to remove Velayat-e Faghih is unacceptable. The regime, should it occur, will remain fully intact.
