Now all we need to do is hook up a generator...


The grandson of the late revolutionary Iranian leader Ayatollah Ruholla Khomeini is protesting the Islamic regime, calling it the "the world's worst dictatorship."

Hussein Khomeini, 46, charged the heirs to his grandfather have exploited his name, "the name of Islam and the religious regime in order to continue their tyrannical rule," according to the London-based Arabic-language daily Al-Sharq Al-Awsat.

The report said Hussein Khomeini, in a sign of protest, left his place of residence in Iran's holy Shi'ite city of Qom to relocate to Iraq's holy Shi'ite city of Najaf, which is traditionally the seat of the highest Shi'ite religious authority.

He called for separation of religion and state in Iran and said he expects the opposition to the regime will gather momentum and turn into a popular movement.
