Neo – What you referred o in your article in 2006 seems to have happened before Khomeini was exiled. The proposed plan to assassinate him occured sometime later when he was in exile in Iraq. It was well before he became a power.

BTW – Life under the Shah was generally very good (at least for Americans). The Shah and his queen, Farah, took large steps to improve the lot of women in Iran – improved access to education and politics, among other areas. Also, the Shah was very tolerant of religious minorities, Jews, Bahai, Armenians, other Christians. A high point of our time in Iran was a performance of the Bolshoi ballet, attended by the Shah and the president of Russia.

We hear a lot about the United States’ Judeo-Christian heritage, but according to President Obama, “Islam has been woven into the fabric of our country since its founding.”

That’s what the president told a White House conference on “countering violent extremism” on Wednesday.

France suggested to the Shah that they could “arrange for Khomeini to have a fatal accident”

Revelation of which has led to massive anti-French demonstrations world wide, wikipedia networks for revealing classified French documents,… oh, wait.

Why can’t we be French? Or, more to the point, why can’t the CIA/NSA?

The only problem of a revolution that eats its children is that it doesn’t eat enough of them.

“In the late 1980s Khomeini issued a fatwa to kill all opposition in jails around Iran. A Death Commission carried out mock trials behind closed doors, interrogating prisoners about their associations, affiliations, and allegiances with a series of questions designed to elicit an answer that assured the death sentence. The fatwa led to the execution of thousands of innocent men and women of all ages in a very short period. Another fatwa by hard-line clerics in the 1990s led to the murder of dozens of dissident intellectuals, journalists, poets, writers and political activists. Hundreds of students were killed and hundreds more tortured in response to their attempts at generating an uprising. The nightmare continues to this day.”

Spokespeople are buried deep by their former friends for a reason. Everyone hates shallowness.

We know spokespeople are first and fairly only communists. Perhaps we need a more comprehensive word to encapsulate the word “communist;” maybe it is “enviests”from the word envy and envy of not just property but goodness and any other virtue.

Kevin Williamson has another superb article supporting Giuliani’s resounding denunciation of Obama. The appropriate one word summary of his and Giuliani’s analysis is “communist.”

Or they are bitches, in that they bitch and whine and complain and hate. Hard workers generally do not bitch or whine, but those who from early childhood, bitch and whine, end up hating and becoming communists and spokespeople and shallow. They look for the easy way to accumulate property and reputation–the very things they vociferate against.

Spokespeople? Not really found in conservative or christian environs, where every man is an individual and speaks his mind. And actions speak louder than words for the truly independent and secure individual.

Spokespeople are the result of a need to deflect, to scapegoat, to create a straw person, to ceremoniously outrage (and later to disclaim “at this point what difference does it make.) and to present game and travesty as honesty.

No wonder spokespeople are buried deep and forgotten- and while they need a certain articulate ability and intelligence– such ability is, in the end, overshadowed grossly by a shallowness birthed from a lack of gratitude.
