"Today [June 2005] young Iranians despair of political change. Resigned to the rule of autocratic mullahs, they have turned inward, settling for the opportunity to make a little more money and have a little more fun. Gone are dreams of Che Guevara and a quick, painless revolution, replaced by the allure of pyramid schemes and cheap trips to India. Although it's too late to buy the love of Iran's youth, the mullahs seem happy to settle for torpor." (TIME) The author, an Iranian-American, describes her interactions with Iranian youth on a 2005 visit to Iran. Included are excerpts from a related Time interview with former Iranian President Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani.
