Khomeni, at least, would have done less damage as a martyr than as a leader. “You can’t kill Khomeini, you would make him a martyr.”

A confirmed Leftist, she didn't refrain from criticizing The Left when it lost its way, as she saw it. She certainly recognized the radical strain of Islam for the bloodthirsty movement it was and is. A brave woman all her life.

It's a shame that I knew nothing of Fallaci until the recent series of postings like yours that have been prompted by her passing. We certainly could use more with her brand of moral courage, regardless of party affiliation. Very interesting stuff!

Just offhand, do you or anyone else know what the standard left's reaction was to that specific statement after she wrote it? I can only imagine what the screeching and caterwauling would have been like if anyone wrote something like that nowadays. Like I said earlier, tough, gutsy lady...I miss her already, and so should the West in general. Neo,

It seems to have not been part of the original Khomeini interview, but a comment she made later to Talbot as part of the <i>New Yorker</i> piece. cjd: actually, I think that last sentence of Fallaci’s was made nowadays.
