Is there any author you suggest reading?

I can feel your passion. It must have been really scary in those final days of the Shah, being as close as you say.

Have you written about your experinces?

What do you see as the alternative to the us and its allies bombing suspected nuclear facilities inside Iran?

Is there any question in your mind that Iran is responsible for most of the insurgency in Iraq today?

As I suggested, go to http://www.antimullah.com and read Alan Peters' articles. He was also there and knows what he's talking about. Listen to people who were there at the time and like Alan Peters sat in J2 counter intel three or four days a week trying to counteract Soviet activities to make the revolution a success. Not for Khomeini but for the Mojaheddin (MEK), the Fadayeen (both Marxist Islamist groups) and for the Tudeh (Communist) party.

The Mullahs stole the revolution out from under these pro-Soviet groups because once the government fell and its organizations went into disarray, the only remaining national network was the string of hundreds of mosques all over the country, which set up neighborhood groups etc., rather like Mojtaba Al-Sadr did in Iraq. And co-ordinated activities on a national basis by linking together the local "Committe" clerical "neighborhood watch" groups.
