The continued unrest in Iran has called into question how different Mousavi's policies would be compared to Ahmadinejad's. As Karim Sadjadpour explains on the Colbert Report, "People in Mousavi's camp would argue that Iran needs to fundamentally change its orientation towards the West. Instead of this 'Death to America' culture of 1979, it's time to move on and have peaceful relations with Iran's Arab neighbors, with the Europeans and also with the United States."
