Khamenei says open to criticism?!!

Iran's supreme leader said the country's political establishment should be open to criticism, following a rare protest against President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, state radio reported on Wednesday.

"We should be wary of the day when our young people in universities do not have the motivation to raise questions, issues and demands," Ali Khamenei told a group of students and political activists on Tuesday night.

"If sometimes we have said there should be no opposition to the country's officials, this does not mean there should be no criticism," Khamenei said. "This applies to the leadership too."

Khamenei's comments came two days after a group of students staged a protest against the hardline Ahmadinejad at Tehran University, calling him a "dictator" over a crackdown against student activists.

And even the supreme leader voiced criticism of the current government.

"I have supported (previous) governments. I support this government too. This also does not mean that I approve of every detail of the work that is being done," Khameini said.

Criticism of the authority of the supreme leader -- who has the final word on all matters of state in the Islamic republic -- is a punishable crime. AFP

Guess what? Supreme leader and his authority is our problem! We don't need supreme leader, we can lead ourselves. We do have problems with politician mullahs! The separation of state and religion is mandatory in Iran. We want a free referendum under control of UN to choose a new government! There is no need any more for you, mullahs and Islamic Republic.

The students yelled at Ahmadinejad “Death to dictator” but we know and you know that Ahmadinejad is puppet of yours and whole Islamic Republic mafia around you. We are sick and tired of you, being a leader. Step up like a man and confess to your crimes.
