Two years ago this week, Mohammad Khatami was elected the Iranian regime's president. Everyone agrees that his election was a landmark event in the history of the theocratic state, but the unanimity ends there.
Mr. Khatami's election was promoted in the press as the beginning of the long-awaited transformation of the religious dictatorship into a (relatively) moderate, democratic state. He is looked upon by some people as agenuine reformer locked in an uphill struggle against the "hard-line" clerical establishment.
Other people acknowledge that Mr. Khatami's words may differ somewhat from the vitriolic invective that has come out of Iran during the past two decades, but they argue that the man should be judged by his deeds. Viewed in that light, Mr. Khatami looks like an insider firmly committed to the clerics' monopoly on power.
