That, Iranians may be. But such gentleness should not lead Western visitors to think support for the values of the Islamic revolution has run its course. Every day the Mahestan shopping mall just off Revolution Street fills with students from the nearby universities. The mall is popular with Basijis--the young volunteers who fill the ranks of government-sponsored demonstrations. When they grow up, they join the government and the Revolutionary Guards corps.

...Don’t get me wrong: America needs its fearless leaders, and Harvard graduates are justifiably trusted to fill the nation’s most influential positions. At the same time, more bids for power have been spurred by the desire for recognition than the drive to change people’s lives for the better. The result is a dearth of talent in the places where no prestige comes with it. To this end, Michelle Obama has been an inspiring example...
