"As if to contrast its vision with that of the Shah's rule, Ayatollah Khomeini said recently, in France, that in any well-governed society ‘the ruler does not live very differently from the ordinary person.” For him, to be religious is to struggle for these political goals, yet the religious leader's role is to inspire politics, not to govern. Hence, it is widely expected that he will soon go to the holy city of Qum, at a remove from the daily exercise of power. There he will function as a guide or, if necessary, as a critic of the republic. In looking to the future, Ayatollah Khomeini has spoken of his hopes to show the world what a genuine Islamic government can do on behalf of its people. He has made clear frequently that he scorns what he considers to be the so-called Islamic Governments in Saudi Arabia, Libya and Pakistan." Trusting Khomeini By Richard Falk , The New York Times, February 1979
