Letter from Iran: Christmas is No Time for an Iranian Revolution

Hooman Majd is the author of recently published book entitled The Ayatollahs' Democracy: An Iranian Challenge. As he points out in this Foreign Affairs piece, "The government is less powerful than it was, but the regime itself is firmly in control. The nuclear program continues; Iranians go about their business, grumbling as they do. But a nation that weathered a revolution, an eight-year war with Iraq, and more than 30 years of sanctions and the enmity of the West is not about to crumble, nor to change direction."
