but the clerics are not all of one mind, so the defeat of ahmadijenad would be a shift in power relations within the ruling clerical sector (can't remember the institutional framework)...so this is hardly just a rotation of the oligarchy. i think it would matter quite alot were iran to rid itself of ahmadijenad, just as it mattered that the united states rid itself of george w bush (eventually, when there was no alternative)
