Mousavi may not be great in actuality, but he'd be a lot better than crazy. (one can assume) At this point, it's all theoretical. Interestingly, I've started receiving emails from the Persian friend of a friend. A bright guy who just graduated from Wharton and is in the US, getting emails and tweets from his relatives in Iran, who are desperate to communicate with the outside world, now that the Iranian government has shut down so many means of communication.
