      How many senior Taliban members are still alive from those days? The organisation persists, most of the leadership didn’t.

          No, but they can certainly kill the Ayatollahs, and I don’t think they’re willing to die for the cause.

                The leaders know their time is running out (especially Chamenei, which is an old man by now), and I sincerely believe that in his perspective it is much more favourable to go out on the prospect of being worshipped by his followers for a long time to come instead of doing a Saddam.
