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.

Just in case it was not clear in my reply, Alan actively tried to prevent the Soviets from helping the revolution happen. The sentence I wrote sounded pehaps that he was helping the MEK etc.

He met several times a week with military J2 counter intel and was part of the decision making process to obstruct the Soviet activity of a dozen of their urban guerilla warfare psychologists, flown in for just that purpose to the Soviet Tehran embassy. Iran had nobody with any experience in this field or in Information warfare.
