What is actually going on in Iran?

Weekend Opinionator: Watching Iran, Re-Fighting Iraq - The Opinionator Blog - NYTimes.com: "Rafsanjani, Mosavi (whose own records on human rights and democracy are deeply troubling), and various ayatollahs and clerics (including the longtime and truly honorable dissident Montazeri) want to restore the revolution; but do they really want to restore the freedom of the Iranian people? And are they really winning?"

Danielle Pletka at the AEI have this comment. Restore the revolution. I have been wondering what actually goes on in Iran and this makes sense. It is more civil war than what the West wants to see, a freedom fight of the educated and young hopefuls of Iran.
