No. I think the damage the Ayatollah Khomeini has caused to the Iranian people, culture, and the rest of the Moslem world is incalculable. The BS you here about the Irania people love America is nonsense. There are small number of highly educated intellectuals who are oppressed by the revolution who love America. They are very few, and dieying out.
Iran is not some radical dustbin with a groups of tribesmen running around with sticks. Iran is a country with 5,000 years of history, 84% literacy rate, and a vastly young population that yearns for freedom and democracy.
If you study Iranian history you'd realize that every revolt was a push towards democracy and against dictatorship - 1906, 1953, 1979.. The 1953 was overthrown by MI5 for cheap oil, and 1979 was hijacked by the Mullahs.
The middle east is not one country - and it's ridiculous to even try to lump these countries together.
I'm sure you wouldn't appreciate being called French or German nor do Iranians appreciate being lumped with Iraqis and Saudis.
Well, you're right about Khomeini and his followers doing a lot of damage to the country of Iran. And let's put blame on Pres. Carter, too.
"The BS you here about the Irania people..."
"There are small number of highly educated intellectuals who are oppressed by the revolution who love America."
You're 180 degrees off. Absoultely wrong. Try asking your average person on the street or cab driver in Tehran what he thinks. They'll tell you how wrong you are. I could spend the next week sending you article after article from different sources showing you you're wrong. How about dredging up some proof to back up your assertion? The only sources backing up your opinion will be from the regime, not the people.
btw - you a friend of wtc?
