...Doostet darim [We love you]!" This is a nation desperate for change, starving for leadership. And Khatami's difficult task is to rework Iran's system from within. It's an excruciatingly difficult way to be a reformer, fighting battles by not fighting battles. The pressures are exacting a toll. Chest pains sent him to the hospital recently. He winds down each night by scratching out a few pages of his memoir--in ink--at home. Khatami is a former Culture Minister and a onetime head of the national library. He is not a born politician.

And when the death toll accumulated to 600, he said, it's a tragedy, I cannot stand it anymore, and he isolated himself at his home. Since then, we are still there for 15 years and another 500 or 400 people [died]. We have more than a thousand families in Israel that buried their sons there...
