Khomeni & Israel
[this is rather amazing - I had no idea! - I presume this was to annoy Iraq?]
But, by the way, Khomeini sold oil to Israel, and Israel sold him weapons and spare parts, and put the Reagan administration up to doing the same thing. You will note that when Khomeini originally made the statement about the occupation regime over Jerusalem vanishing from the page of time, that was not front page news. In fact, secret Israeli arms shipments were arriving in Tehran as Khomeini was speaking. So whatever is going on now is not about the rhetoric, is it?

Can you authenticate a quote from Khomeini: “It is alright to lie to a Christian. They do not know what the truth is anyway.”
The North Viet signed a treaty in Parish for mutual withdrawal from Vietnam. Lenin advocated winning with a Lie when possible–much cheaper.
This idea can possibly be traced back in history as far as Mahiavelli–an author I never read.
