He is son of a king and they call him PRINCE
He took power..I assumed it was by the will of the people.
No, it was not. It was by the will of the U.S.
See clip #499. http://memritv.org/Search.asp?ACT=S9&P1=499#
Yeah? So what? For a while a rather creepy young musician was called Prince too. It doesn't mean a thing except to people with chains in their brains.

The Shah, yes, Khomeni, no.
The Shah yes, Khomeini, Yes.
Source and link please?
I never got the impression that he wanted to be installed as a moinarch. He used to live here in L.A. (may still for all I know) and was the broadcaster of a Free Iran radio station beamed into Iran.
Seems to me he's one of the good guys. His mother was also a gracious woman.
There are dozens of sources. Try Ledeen for starters. Or Amir Taheri. Don't have a link off-hand.
If you read the real history, you'll understand why the people of Iran (and Americans) hate Carter so much.
It was Carter who advised the Shah and Khomeini (behind the Shah's back). Carter got the Shah out of Iran and ushered Khomeini in. Fact. Though it's not one democrats like to admit to.
For argument sake, if Nixon were president at the time, he would have backed the Shah.
gee ..I did not know you were talking about Carter..He said no no didn't he, and tut tutted? Carter is clueless and has always been.
The Shah asked Carter for help to put down the uprising. He asked for munitions and backing. Carter refused. HE wanted the Shah out. HE wanted Khomeini. HE did all he could to make that happen, and succeeded. It was HIS will, and as our President, that made it the will of the U.S..
Actually, if you think about it, it's incredible that Iranians have any love for the U.S. at all.
The only tyrants Carter supports are communist or anti US.
"Carter is clueless and has always been"
Yes, he and his advisers set up the role of Iran as host to terrorists and terrorism and created the mess we have today.
I am glad you made that statement..I learned some interesting things about Khomeni's history with terror groups and happened on a couple of blogs where great reverence is expressed for him by Iranians.
If you were on a blog that had Iranians paying respect and reverence to Khomeini, you were on a blog infiltrated by the regime.
They visit FR, too.
Seems like they do.
