   Money.  Push it through your favourite UN department.  Schools and

You have this back to front.  Khatami was marginalized by the 
mullahs, and BECAUSE he was marginalized, because democracy in

   June 2001: Khatami re-elected
   January 2002: Bush's 'Axis of Evil' speech
   February 2004: Rigged parliamentary elections lead to conservative 
majority
