Re.:der :ay.s
Dear Editor
Mr. Khomeini—The
Sick Man of Iran
The most irrational and
inhumane behaviour of
Mr. Khomeini and his
followers has severely
damaged the image of
Iran, of Islam as a
religion and of the
Muslims all over the
world to an extent that
the relationship between
the Muslims and the
U.S.A. may never be the
same for a long time to
come.
There is no precedence
in modern history where
an entire embassy staff of
a foreign gountry has
been wrested and treated
in a shameless way - even
if the U.S. Embassy staff
were spies, the in-
ternational law provides
remedy in the form of
declaring the staff as
"persons -non -grate" and
deportation.
Mr. Khomeini first
asked the Iranians to
depose the Shah. He
should have asked the
people to arrest and try
Shah on whatever
charges he wanted. In my
personal opinion, it is to
the credit of Shah that he
bowed to the in-
ternational as well as the
people's pressure and
decided to leave Iran.
The Shah is stili .the
legal head of the state till
the new 'constitution is
approved and at present,
Mr. Khomeini and his
followers do not have any
legal status in Iran.
It is also to the credit of
Shah that he left Iran
with a government of a
moderate leader and who
was a friend of Mr.
Khomeini. Mr. Khomeini
left Iran decades ago
while the going was rough
and continued --- •the

pur Bakhtayar and other
national leaders who
stayed in Iran and con-

my mind."
In response to further
questioning, Mr. Wright
said, "I was busy and I
had a lot more on my
mind than_ a few little
beans...it just never
crossed my mind."
Earlier in the trial, Mr.
Dale told the court he
didn't grow any white
beans in 1978. In answer
to the drown attorney's
question, "Did you ever
have Ken Wright deliver
any beans for the co-op in
1978?", Mr. Dale replied,
"No."
He told the court he,
didn't receive any money
from the beans.
Donald Scott, manager
of the Ontario Bean
Growers' Co-operative
testified on Tuesday that
the cheque for,the beans
in Mr. Dale's name had
never been picked up.

against the deportation of
the Shah with courage
and integrity.
Mr. Khomeini gave the
first signs of
irrationalism when he
condemned the gover-
hom
ini is likely par
nment of Mr. Bakhtayar as patriotism and allowed
and interfered any Iranian government
irresponsibly with the a free hand, the world
government he himself situation would have -been
appointed. Had Mr. different.
Khomeini acted with any No one call deny that
sense of_ decency as well the Shah gave peace to
Iran for over three
decades, industrialized
the country, provided
free education, social and
medical facilities, gave
unlimited scholarships
anal made -Iran -one of the
most stable, strong and
prosperous countries of
the Eastern world.
The people of Iran
revolted against the Shah
not due to his deportation.
Most', off the Afro -Asian
leaders are deports. Most
of the revolt was
organized by two
elements, viz; the
Communism and the
religion. The Shah was
strong enough to deal
with Communism but he
miscalculated the power
of religion. It was his
great blunder to .oppose
the Communists and the
Mullehs similutaneously.
He should have never
stopped paying money to
the Mullehs.
The Shah was perhaps
not fully aware that the
Iranians looked upon the
religious leaders as
"divine". It was
therefore the belief of the
people of Iran in Mr.
Khomeini's Divinity as
well as ignorance of his
mental state that brought
the revolt against the
Shah.
The Shah was really
naive and not better than
Mr. Khomeini in many
ways. The Shah annoyed

the Russians by
providing military bases
to U.S.A., annoyed the
Moslem world by selling
oil to Israel, annoyed the
common man of Iran by
too quick an industrial
development; but in spite
of all this, Iran was not a
jungle state.
If Mr. Khomeini is
examined by a team of
psychiatrists, he is likely
to be diagnosed as suf-
fering from "paranoia"
as well as the onset of
"senility".
When everything
would, one day, be settled
in Iran, I am sure that the
Iranians are bound to
reach the decision that
the Shah was a lesser
evil.
