What Mafia?

Mafia? Have you not seen the way he lives? lol. Stop talking out of your ass people. He is the symbol of fighting economic corruption in Iran today. What Mafia creates ZERO INTEREST loans for banks to offer?

Come on, pleaseeeeeee

He is a  member of the Mafia. Remember, Mafia is made up of several families. He wants everything under the control of IRCG, a family in the Mafia. Basically, it is people's money stolen being redistributed among the people who stole in the first place. If you think for a second that Antarinejad is going to stamp out corruption, you guys are more naive than I thought.

Well please don't be shy

This person said that, that said this. I would say please don't be shy, just say the names. Question to Mr. Ahmadinejad:

-What are you trying to accomplish here?

-Do you expect people to stop the Mafia? and if yes how?

-What channels people have to fight against what you are preaching here?

I believe it's the easiest way out to blame those who are nameless. Either say the names, and start cracking down or just be quiet.

One smart strategy of the regime has been that they are many voices within, and some are fighting another so people do not need to worry, it will be fixed!

I believe that it will be, but I don't care for this kind of ambiguity and at some point you can't fool the crowd to release the responsibilities from your own shoulders.

Let's wait and see.
