Re: Who Is Hassan Rouhani?
Skyler, the Green movement in Iran arose in response to the stolen election of 2009, when Ahmadinejad fraudulently took office. Huge numbers of people participated in rallies and demonstrations protesting the results. The regime responded with a harsh crackdown that swept up former senior government officials along with many students. Rouhani's affiliation with the regime, rather than with the popular movement that evolved into the Greens, goes back many years. While he shared the Greens' aversion to Ahmadinejad (he resigned his post in protest shortly after Ahmadinejad took office), I don't think either he or the Greens would consider him a kindred spirit.
