<strong>the</strong>m is an independent government. He is <strong>the</strong> prime minister and, at <strong>the</strong> same time, he is<br />

<strong>the</strong> minister <strong>of</strong> health, education, defense, social affairs, agriculture, media, and (religious)<br />

guidance. Truly, leaders govern when living between <strong>the</strong> jaws <strong>of</strong> death. If some military<br />

men can come to power on <strong>the</strong> basis <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> first communiqué in <strong>the</strong> revolutionary, military<br />

states – leaders who are not known to have ruled previously, have no Islamic hue, no<br />

Islamic and non-Islamic parties and groups striving to ride <strong>the</strong> wave and exploit <strong>the</strong><br />

situation. Here <strong>the</strong>re are two possibilities: First, <strong>the</strong>se entities take over <strong>the</strong> administration<br />

<strong>of</strong> some <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> regions. We have previously mentioned <strong>the</strong> principles <strong>of</strong> dealing with <strong>the</strong>se<br />
