A call for freedom
The grandson of Ayatollah Khomeini, the inspiration of Iran's 1979 Islamic Revolution, has broken a three-year silence to back the United States military to overthrow the country's clerical regime.
"My grandfather's revolution has devoured its children and has strayed from its course," he told Al-Arabiya, an Arabic-language television station. "I lived through the revolution and it called for freedom and democracy - but it has persecuted its leaders."
As for his "call to President Bush to come and occupy Iran," Hossein Khomeini explained that 'freedom must come to Iran in any possible way, whether through internal or external developments."

Wow indeed. MEMRI has never been found to be wrong.
