Mousavi is running on a platform that's much different than I'd imagine the clerics are interested in supporting. He's not pro-west per se, but he's certainly open to forming positive/constructive relationships with the US, UK, and Europe which stands in stark contrast to what Ahmadinejad has done, which I'm assuming was at the behest of the clerics. Because he's so much different than the president I think we all agree was a puppet, it seems safe to assume that (if he's being truthful in his campaign promises), he's not another Ahmadinejad.
