I was totally not that person. The people in the room pretended that nothing unusual was going on, but when it was over--I remember Lisa Bonet was out in the hallway waiting on her turn--I ran into the bathroom and looked...

...face of the basij? Not really. As the son of an adviser to the Defense Minister, he is drawn to hard-line politics out of family loyalty. But like many children of the revolutionary elite, class privilege sets his lifestyle apart from the basiji rank and file. He watches Fox News and discovers old friends on www.orkut.com. His favorite movie is A Beautiful Mind, and he lives in a well-heeled neighborhood of north Tehran rather than in the working-class quarter of Naziabad where his basij is based.
