what was to be admired about Khomeyni?
Beside it is not just Khomeyni, he believed that Islam will establish democratic institution in the society! As if non of his analysis about religion ( Surveiller et Punir) apply to Islam! And what is that SPIRITUALITY he supported in the revolution? The main problem with that revolution was that the separation between state and the religion went out the window! Foucault was supporting such leadership!
and waht do you mean by: Ah, "the French Foucault" rears his ugly head ;).
