Michael,
I personally think the world would be a better place without Khamenei, but I’m not sure what will happen after his death and who will replace him. The sad truth is that many people who are in the position of replacing him (e.g., Ahmadinejad’s camp) are even worse than him.
What is your analysis of what could happen if Khamenei dies this year?
ML:
Yes, you are right. Things are never so bad they can’t get worse. He has been a monster, but perhaps there are worse monsters waiting to succeed him.
Nobody knows what will happen when he died, and it’s clear that he is dying. The interesting thing is that the power struggle is going on now, yet nobody is analyzing it.
