Ping.

The demonstrators claimed that both the US and Jimmy Carter, as a former US president, share responsibility for the revolution in Iran in 1979 that unseated the shah and allowed the Ayatollah Khomeini to seize power.

"The demonstrators claimed that both the US and Jimmy Carter, as a former US president, share responsibility for the revolution in Iran in 1979 that unseated the shah and allowed the Ayatollah Khomeini to seize power.

What's this? Iranians upset that the Shah was unseated? What was the meaning of all that grafitti we saw in the '70s that said "Down with the Shah?" I thought Iranians wanted the Shah deposed and that they ALL considered the U.S. to be the "great satan."

Sounds like there are quite a few Iranians who aren't too enthralled with what their own gubmint has become.

Sounds like that and that they'd rather have a shah than an ayatollah.

Outstanding protest of the Carter Hypocritical Legacy.

Hopefully Fox News picks this up - they will certainly be the only media outlet that would consider it.

A group of exiled Iranians demonstrated in Oslo on Tuesday against both Nobel Prize winner Jimmy Carter and the Norwegian Nobel Committee.

"And there aren't 200 police officers out there busting heads? Damn, where's Fidel when I need him?"
