Supreme Leader: Iran Open to Criticism.

TEHRAN (Fars News Agency)- Supreme Leader of the Islamic Revolution Ayatollah Seyed Ali Khamenei said the country's political establishment should be open to criticism.

"We should be wary of the day when our young people in universities do not have the motivation to raise questions, issues and demands," Ayatollah 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."

"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," the Leader said.

Notice how the US Leader never speaks to the Iran Leader. Most World Leaders speak to each other but this Administration knows how far they can go because they are scared of the Iran Supreme Leader. Even the Dickster ran to the Saudi King when he was called just alike a lap dog. Yet the US Law Makers fall at the Dicksters feet.

I know the Supreme Leader got a good laugh at the US and how they treated the Iran President. So much for Democracy and Leadership as the US showed just how backward we have become with Bush/Cheney in charge.
