Iranian paper calls Zahir Shah a 'fossil'
2002-04-19
  • In an editorial, Kayhan International referred to Zahir Shah as a "frail 87-year-old man in poor health" who is "not familiar with Afghanistan today or the Afghans who drove out the Soviets and are averse to the American occupation of their country. What Afghanistan needs is peace, independence and solidarity based on Islam. This country does not need a fossil" to please foreigners.
    Oh, God, yes. We wouldn't want any fossilized shah returning to Iran, either. Better to leave government in the hands of mullahs and ayatollahs and other God-fearing men who wear turbans.
