Iranian Theocracy

Linked with No velvet revolution for Iran.

Dear Editor:

A change from theocratic to secular-democratic regime in Iran can be brought about only by the masses of Iranian people and not by a decree from any disinterested religious leader in or outside Iran (No velvet revolution, 29 June).

Iranians brought in theocracy through street power in 1979. The same formula still holds good for its ouster.
