Khomeini-WOW!


Hossein Khomeini, in a speech from the city of Qom, called for President Bush to "come and occupy Iran, and break the prison [doors open]."

I wonder how long it will take for him to wind up in prison, or worse.

Hossein Khomeini is the grandson of Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, father of the 1979 Iranian Revolution.

Hossein Khomeini blasted the current regime.

From World Net Daily:

"My grandfather's revolution has devoured its children and has strayed from its course," he told Al-Arabiya, a Dubai-based Arabic-language station. "I lived through the revolution and it called for freedom and democracy; but it has persecuted its leaders."

He dismisses the clerics who inherited power from the revolution as "wearers of the turban" and accuses them of abusing their power.

"Iran will gain real power if freedom and democracy develop there," Khomeini said, adding that if he came to power, one of his first acts would be to make wearing of the Muslim veil optional for Iranian women. "Strength will not be obtained through weapons and the bomb."

As for his call for the U.S. military to occupy his country, he said, "Freedom must come to Iran in any possible way, whether through internal or external developments. If you were a prisoner, what would you do? I want someone to break the prison [doors open]."

Wow! Those are bold words, especially considering he spoke them from right under Ahmadinejad's nose!
