The democratic movement in Iran needs, I think, to know that the west is aware of its existence and aware of its legitimacy, and to know that while the west is pursuing its own interests, as it should, and negotiating with this regime on the nuclear issue, it will not “do a Libya”, or what the Iranians now call “the Libya syndrome”.
