Answer 2

It's amazing how your first question was responded to in reference to simply attacking the (dead) man rather than the issue. The second question was primarily ignored as attacking the dead man took priority?
Mr Khomeini called America the Great Satan as we supported our friend Saddam Hussein and Iraq against Iran, (Mr Khomeini's country) during their war. We gave our blessings to Iraq to use weapons of mass destruction,
(poison gas for example) to stop an increasing threat of Iranian dominance. This achieved our true goal of balancing the power for a time in the middle east securing oil reserves. The Rapture Rights of our own Theocracy don't hesitate to criticize and refer to others as an "axis of evil" and under demonic influence but get quite upset when the shoe is on the other foot.

Answer 3

Here is the reason why:-
The CIA and the British SIS orchestrated a coup d'etat in 1953 that toppled the first democratically elected government of Mohammad Mossadegh. The prime minister and his nationalist supporters in parliament roused Britain's ire when they nationalized the oil industry in 1951, which had previously been exclusively controlled by the Anglo-Iranian Oil Company, the company now known as British Petroleum (BP). Mossadegh argued that Iran should begin profiting from its own vast oil reserves, instead of a foreign company.

The CIA - with British assistance - undermined Mossadegh's government by bribing influential figures, planting false reports in newspapers and provoking street violence. Led by an agent named Kermit Roosevelt, the grandson of President Theodore Roosevelt, the CIA leaned on a young, insecure Shah to issue a decree dismissing Mossadegh as prime minister. By the end of Operation Ajax, some 300 people had died in firefights in the streets of Tehran, an operation which was run out of the US embassy in Tehran.

The crushing of Iran's first democratic government ushered in more than two decades of dictatorship under the Shah, who relied heavily on US aid and arms. The Shah, with his "reforms" and what was seen as taciturn approval of the West, particularly the US continued to suppress his people until the revolution.
Edited: As to your second question- To countries that remember those events as well as other "interference" of the US into some of those same countries and the problems that ensued as a result is a large contributing factor to the thinking that the Ayatollah was right.
This country has a habit of interfering and undermining countries that had democracies or any type of government that did not share the vision of democracy that US wanted
A few of them come to mind
Haiti, the US helped overthrow the democratically elected President in 2004
Chile, helped in the overthrow of Allende because he was a Marxist. Pinochet took over and the human rights atrocities that took place were absolutely horrific.

Answer 4

Great Satan = Great Enemy

Even in Jesus' day "Satan" just meant "enemy".

It's only Christianity that personified this into some sort of spiritual being. That's why Islam and Judaism don't believe in "Satan" in the same way and Islam uses the term so loosely.

Answer 5

"great Satan", "evil axis"---it's all the same thing. All of these "leaders" have to come up with some catchy phrase that will appeal to those they are trying to lead into battle. It has to have something to do with godlessness, and evil, and it has to be short enough so that the citizens will remember it.

I'm sure that the West looks as evil and threatening to their way of life as their terrorists look to us!

Answer 6

Chuckle, this is so 70s Russian hog wash that I can even see my self back in the old USSR drinking Vodka with the party officials while they told me no one in the US could afford to buy books. What about the Blacks in South??... that'd be the next line.

Answer 7

Other countries are always jealous of the wealthiest, most powerful country in the world.

As for Khomeini...why do you give a crap what that @sshole thinks?

Answer 8

This Man (and i use this term lightly) is evil and not to be believed. Stay away from his readings or anything else.He makes the hair on my neck stand up.

Answer 9

As if anything the Devil himself says is even remotely close to the truth? Im gonna go eat my dinner now!

Answer 10
