Which Seyyed General should the Iranians ignore?

The IRGC is a parallel army of more than 250,000 men, created by the Ayatollah Khomeini as his regime's praetorian guard. Over the decades, however, it has emerged as the backbone of the ruling Establishment - especially, since it controls more than 500 companies with interests in everything from oil to tourism. Thanks to a network of retired officers and veterans, the IRGC has a presence throughout the state, as well as large chunks of the private business sector. Since the mid-1990s, the IRGC has been trying to expand its political power base, mostly at the expense of the mullahs and their business associates

I think of Amir Taheri as an apologist for the Seyyeds. Fact is that the real Iranians who see the Spirit of Nowrooz above everything else in Iran, will not vote. Apathy will be rife. Why don't journalists like him talk about the alternatives?

Fact is that the people of Iran will be looking at a state within a state. Like an alien in the body of Iran, it has reached out and controlled the top organizations. But the people of Iran are watching them from within those organizations, and can go on General Strike. Taheri does not mention that, does he?

The people of Iran will see very clearly after the Seyyed election which faction is winning. They really will have a laugh because no one gives a damn what the results are. It would be just as if it was an election in another country. But this time we Iranians will see the monsters up there in the open and not in hidding.

In short, it will make it a lot easier to get rid of them, as and when.
