Reform in Iran is slowly dying. I think our presence is helping the fundies there by giving them a target to attack and rally support on.

The reformers didn't have all that much recourse in the "election". They pushed for their cause but the leadership did an end run and beat them. The movement isn't dead it just lost a battle.
