Over 100 Iran Lawmakers Submit Resignations
Edited on Sun Feb-01-04 01:31 PM by vernon_nackulus
"More than a third of the Iranian parliament resigned Sunday and the speaker delivered a stinging rebuke to the hard-line Guardian Council for its disqualification of hundreds of liberal candidates in upcoming elections."

Could this be it? The Iranian government has been teetering for a long time. I keep wondering what it's going to take for real reform to happen. Let's hope this is a sign of good things to come.

Those lawmakers that resigned are very conservative, compared to the religious "preservers" they seem like being reformists, but they aren't.
