...incited a wave of fury that culminated in the seizure of the U.S. embassy. (Some intelligence sources think that the Ayatullah genuinely feared the Shah might die of cancer before Khomeini could exact his revenge.) But Khomeini did not think through the consequences, and?implausible though it now seems?may actually be looking for a way out. According to this analysis, Khomeini recognizes that the wave of anarchy unloosed in Iran by the violent emotions of the confrontation with the U.S. is a threat to his dream of an Islamic republic, the establishment of which is his overriding goal...
...America in their slogans and denunciations, they mean the U.S. Government, not the U.S. people. I have received reports about large-scale, Administration-orchestrated anti-Iranian propaganda in the U.S. The Zionists especially are doing all they can to poison U.S. public opinion against Iran.

...have discarded equations and social and political terms of reference so far used for assessing all the world's problems. We have built a new framework of values standing up for justice and fighting injustice. We will defend any upholder of justice and attack any perpetrator of injustice. You may name this value system whatever you like. We are laying the foundation of this value system, which, we hope, will one day replace?in the U.N., the Security Council, and other world bodies?the influence of the capitalists and the great powers that can now condemn out of hand anybody...
