Rather than have the mullahs suffer the stigma of having deprived their countrymen of livelihood and opportunity to interact with the world as they did under the shah, the Bush Administration is only too happy to divert the discontent of the Iranian population from the radical mullahs to America, so that the mullahs can be assured of at least a few small crowds willing to chant "Death to America". Five times a day, the mullahs pray "Keep OFAC in business".
