He sent out hit squads all over the world to assassinate opposition leaders and their entourage and if I remember correctly was behind the bombing of a Jewish building in South America.
His fingers were in every business pie for profit and kickbacks and he is now one of the richest men in the world and helped fund the Green movement to the tune of $100 million.
He fears that if the Mullah regime falls, he will be taken to task for the killings AND for financially raping the country. As so many other Mullahs have done and are doing.
And as the Revolutionary Guard is now doing with huge project overruns in no-bid projects in every aspect of industry and manufacture.
Seventy per cent of Iranians born since the Revolution.
A growing realization perhaps that all the shuffling of the stage props (the "moderate" Khatami comes to mind) is merely a veil over repression and exploitation.
If anyone but naive, totally inexperienced useful fool, pro-Mullah, Moslem Oba-Hussein-Khomeini were in charge of America at this point in time where the legitimacy of the Islamic regime government is in question it is the moment to set up an Iranian government in exile and have it recognized by major Western countries and thus enlarge the split among the clergy factions.And set in motion a defensible political change of regime.
AntiMullah has been working on a simplified process to implement this course of action but it would fall on deaf ears with the current Oba-Hussein administration which appears to be going out of its way to defend and support the Mullah regime instead of the desperate seeking of freedom of the populace.
Or, hard to discard with the way Oba-Hussein has behaved, the Mullahs have something they can hold over his head and blackmail or extort him.
Perhaps some other Western countries will wake up, realize the dangers of the control their Moslem communities are fomenting from inside their borders and work on defanging Islamic Iran while they still can. Or face a nuclear, suicidal Hojatieh Islamic Iran!
Your article is full of fun facts:
50,000 Russian "advisors" in-country
A crowd of up to three million reported by the Obamedia as "ten thousand"
Chants against the Russians and against the ayatollah
Your speculation that the mullahs "have something" on Obama is likely true--
--particularly as the Russians are being so helpful providing the mullahs with intel.
What we here knew a year ago--the legend "Barack Obama" is a Marxchurian Candidate--is gaining acceptance.
As his popularity plummets on a parallel path with the economy.
Tehran demonstrations--T-parties for the overwhelming majority who are mad as hell and aren't going to take it any more.
Thanks for the ping!
