We cannot understand change in Iran simply through the prism of replacing one group of power hungry tyrants with yet another group of power hungry tyrants whether we call it a Islamic republic, a secular republic, monarchy or whatever system of government.

We will never have a culture in Iran which is based on the dignity of all human beings. Getting to this stage is going to be a difficult task.
