“We Were All Ahmadinejads Then”

Hooman Majd in TNR:

One Mousavi campaign manager was asked about the brutality of [the regime], way back, when [Mousavi] was prime minister in the 1980s. The staffer answered, “We were all Ahmadinejads then.” After 6/12, we Iranians are all Mousavis now, even those who voted for Ahmadinejad, whether they know it yet or not.
