first id like to say that this article is written by Fareed Zakaria, writes for newsweek, he has really interesting articles and writes well. i really like his work so i suggest reading his articles. this article is about how America cant really intervene in iran right now due to the change in power.

What is happening in Iran? On the surface, the country has returned to
normalcy. Demonstrations have become infrequent, and have been quickly
dispersed. But underneath the calm, there is intense activity and the beginnings
of a political opposition. In the past week, Mir Hossein Mousavi, the candidate
who officially lost last month's presidential election, has announced his
intention to create a "large-scale social movement" to oppose the government and
press for a more open political system. Mohammad Khatami, the reformist former
president, has called for a referendum on the government. Another powerful
former president, Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani, has criticized the regime's
handling of the election and post-election "crisis." All three have demanded the
release of politicians and journalists imprisoned over the past month and held
without charges. (Those prisoners include Maziar Bahari, NEWSWEEK's Tehran
correspondent, a Canadian citizen, and an internationally recognized documentary
filmmaker.) These are not dissidents in the wilderness. Between them, the three
men have been at the pinnacle of power for most of the Islamic Republic's
existence.
