Two-thirds of the Iranian people would like to be reconciled with the West. They don't like the fanaticism of the governing religious council. It's the only place in the world where the last six elections have been won by the more progressive candidate, two for president, two for the mayors, two for the parliament.

They see it as a status symbol, and a sense of their own security.

The old structure of the West as a synthesis of classical culture, Christianity, and the impulses of peoples entering history for the first time has broken down.
