(Ha'aretz) Itay Mashiach - Prof. Abbas Milani, who was forced to leave Iran in 1986, directs Stanford University's program of Iranian studies. He said in an interview Monday that the Iranian people "find the regime extremely responsible for getting Iran into what I think increasingly seems to the people...to be an unwanted, unwinnable and unreasonable war." "To me, Khamenei is dead politically. There is no way imaginable that he can emerge from this war untainted. I would be surprised if he survives [in power], but he might find a way short-term....Iranian society has come to the conclusion that this guy is a disaster. This guy has taken the country to hell. We can't defeat Israel. Defeating Israel is not our business."
