I loved it when the Ayatollah's body got dumped out of it's cargo carrier during his funeral procession. Great pics at the time; probably consigned to the dustbin by now, though...

"
During his exile in the Iraqi city of Najaf , Khomeini's grandfather, a high-level cleric, masterminded a revolution that ousted the Shah of Iran."I thought that the elder Khomeini was in exile in France. Am I completely wrong?

Iran should wait until the Iraq gov't is up and running before they start insisting on an American invasion. They still have to choose what form of gov't they want, and they might like the new Iraq style, who knows, instead of another shah or another Khomeini.
