Whenever the West has problems with a particular country, they start playing on the harp of divisions within the country, using questions like this one. Differences clearly exist in Iran between the president and the supreme leader as well as within Iranian society, just as there are always problems between the White House, the Pentagon, and the State Department in the U.S.
Right now, everyone says that Condoleezza Rice is having problems with Vice President Dick Cheney's crowd over her attempts at peace-making in the Arab-Israeli conflict. The U.S. and the UK have enough on their plates trying to get out of the quagmire of Iraq, that they should stay out of Iran both literally and symbolically.
