They are either sensitive to it and won't give the order that won't be obeyed ore they are and won't. Either way whether they know it or not they are not fully and securely in charge. Since so long has passed without them giving such an order, the evidence is that they are aware of the limits on their power.
M Have you ever been a first line supervisor in an secular organization where it is difficult to "fire" people? Have you ever been a "faith" oriented leader? I have been both and prefer the former. How about you?
I don't see how it has any real import on that subject. The fundamentalists in Iran are not in a situation anything like that. They are in the situation of the general who dare not give an order. They are not fully in charge. They know this and thus will not give the order that will cause the loss of power.
The trend in Iran is back towards democracy and away from theocracy. The main reason that the theocrats gained so much power in Iran was that the shaw had managed to kill off all other rivals. He had killed off the leaders who would lead in the democratic direction. A new generation of leaders is growing up in Iran.
