Don't Insult My Intelligence With Such a Bullshit About Rouhani.

The election of Hassan Rouhani as the 7^th president of Iran in 2013 has created an unrealistic atmosphere of hope and optimism among many people at home and abroad. Regarding this issue, different types of positive statements have been made. Among these statements: Rouhani is a moderate- pragmatic person; a smart scholar, who has studied and received his PhD degree at Glasgow Caledonian University in Scotland; Rouhani is struggling with hardliners; and finally, a well experienced politician,who would promote some positive reforms in both domestic as well as foreign policy of the Islamic Regime, could be mentioned. All these statements with different tunes and words have a common goal and that is to impose a single unrealistic perception in the public opinion. This perception is that Rouhani is the only hope and opportunity that the international community has at the present. Thus, Rouhani should be fully supported at home and abroad; otherwise, the conservatives, radicals or hardliners within the Islamic Regime would once again seize the power, as these statements claim. 

These type of positive arguments about Rouhani are absolute childish and immature claims. I use intentionally the terms "absolute childish and immature" on this issue, due to the fact that for many years, Hassan Rouhani has been and still is the official personal representative of the Supreme leader Khamenei himself in some of the most important and vital entities of the Islamic Regime. Among these important entities, The Expediency Discernment Council and The Supreme National Security Council could be mentioned. Occupying such high ranking positions shows clearly that Khamenei has enormous trust and believe in Rouhani; otherwise he would not have personally appointed him for such sensitive and important entities within the structure of the Islamic Regime. Moreover, it shows that Hassan Rouhani  himself has also shown his complete obedience and loyalty to the Supreme Leader in different terms. Furthermore, It should be mentioned that none of Iran's previous presidents had not been appointed in such high ranking positions by Khamenei as Rouhani himself has been appointed.

Based on this brief information, we can claim that these positive arguments about Rouhani could be reasonable, reliable and acceptable only on one condition. This condition is that we accept that Khamenei himself is not a hardliner. Simply, because a hardliner leader cannot/does not appoint a moderate person as his/her official puppet and representative in different important entities within the Islamic Regime. The idea that Hassan Rouhani has changed his opinion (a transformation from being a hardliner to a moderate person) during the last couple of months is enough ridiculous and needless for further explanation. To put it simply, when you make any deal with Rouhani, that simply means you have appeased Khamenei; because Rouhani follow the exact order of Khamenei and nothing else. 
To put it simply: Those, who call Rouhani a moderate, either they do not have any clue about the real definition and meaning of the terms "moderate and moderation" or they do not have any idea about the background and high ranking positions of Rouhani within the Islamic Regime or simply they lie to delude us; there is nothing else than these three options.  

In sum, to those people, how identify Rouhani a moderate person; a person, who would change the course of the Islamic Regime in a positive way; a person, who would promote positive reforms within the Islamic Regime; a person, who is struggling with hardliners:

As an individual: you are free to delude yourself by all means; you are free to close your eyes to the total violation of human rights in Iran and the execution of nearly 70-100 people weekly during Rouhani's presidency; you are free to close your eyes to the development of nuclear weapon by the Iranian Regime; you are free to take huge amount of money from different multinational companies and media in order to fix economic deal and exploit Iran's natural resources particularly in this global economic downturn; you are free to ignore your basic moral and ethical principles in order to gain benefit in different terms, 

But you are not allowed to insult my intelligence with such bullshit; no matter, who you are or what type of position you have. Thus, Keep your nonsense to yourself.
