Egyptian Islamist Militants Following Khomeini's Script
2011-09-14
The mob assault and the target, the Israeli embassy, are undisputed facts. Substitute the U.S. for Israel, and the Cairo action mimics Tehran 1979, when Iranian mobs, organized and controlled by the Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini's Islamic revolutionaries, seized the American embassy. America was the Ayatollah's target of passion, the surface target, but his deep target was Iranian modernizers.

#2  Egypt, Libya and the rest are slipping down the Iranian path. Soon we will shift from non-nation enemies like AQ to nation state coalition state enemies.

#1  We should have beaten down Khomeini in 1979. We had justification at the time just not the right President. Iran will keep being a problem until some American, Jewish, or European city disappears in a flash.
