aaaw...I missed him....I was typing the answer when for whatever reason I lost my connection...now it's back (maybe our ISPs are gas dependent too! )

Here is my answer:

We have problems that we shouldn't' have...gas shortages in Iran?! We supply the world with gas and yet we don't have it for ourselves!!
There are no probs in Tehran tho, it's mostly in the far villages and small cities.

And about the question...they are actually making too much out of it...he hasn't actually over ruled the president, he has just "reminded" him that laws made by the parliament are to be obeyed by the government.

There haven't been over rulings by the leader tho, none that I can remember. The only conflicts between the government and the leader were in the first years with Ayatollah Khomeyni in power. One was Banisadr, the first president: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abolhassan_Banisadr , he was impeached and escaped.

...the other was Bazargan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mehdi_Bazargan , the prime minister during the interim government, right after the revolution, he was a great man, a liberal and a democrat, he found problems with the leader and after the attack on the US embassy he and his government resigned. Iran would be a much better place if he could have stayed and done what he thought was right...


Sorry to bore you with these stuff guys...it's the weird recent history of my country, which interests me a lot

EDIT: off to bed now

it's not much, it's even a very well sumarized flash of events that surely involved way too many factors...
so don't worry, it was just enough to learn a lot and get me interested into going deeper.. just for the knowledge on how this relationship between Religion and Government works...
It's very different compared to government's I know about...
thanks!
