Mr Parihaka, I am neither a khomeinist nor an islamist. But regardless, I could be wrong but Khomeini was exiled to Iraq by the Shah, and then inturn he was exiled to Paris by Saddam at the request of the Shah. and He hated Saddam for exileing him from Najaf.

These aside, we are talking about military officers taken sword to protect the nation, not religious figures. Dont you agree??
