Paris- Michel Abu Najm
Former Iranian President Abulhassan Bani-Sadr said that the regime in Tehran has become more corrupt and dictatorial than the Shah’s regime, accusing it of using religion to legitimize itself.
In an interview with Asharq Al-Awsat in his residence in the town of Versailles, France, Bani-Sadr noted that Iran was currently involved in eight wars: an economic war, direct military war in Syria, indirect war in other countries, a war through terrorism, a religious war, a diplomatic war, a war of propaganda, and the war of the US-Israeli threats.
The former Iranian president called on the regime to stop its interventions in the region and to give more attention to the Iranian people.

I vaguely remember this name and his face. Anyone else? The story is about 2 weeks old but pertinent nonetheless.
It sounds like the article says he was impeached in 1981.... the name sure rang a bell.
