GARY SICK
(Gary G. Sick)
Ahmed Khomeini, son of Iranian leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini is the Mrs. Wilson of modern Iran.
During the last year of Woodrow Wilson's presidency, unknown to the public, First Lady, Edith Bolling Wilson, virtually ran the administration because of her husband's illness and debilitation. In the latter months of the Ayatollah’s life, he was non functional and his son was running the government without telling the public.
Gary G. Sick (born 1935) is an American academic and analyst of Middle East affairs, with special expertise on Iran, who served on the U.S. National Security Council under Presidents Ford, Carter, and for a couple weeks under Reagan as well. He has authored three books, and is perhaps best known to the wider public for voicing support for elements of the October Surprise conspiracy theory regarding the Iran hostage crisis and the 1980 presidential election.
