Great Satan

A term used by Iranian leader Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini (1900-1989) to describe the United States, because of US support of Israel and support of Islamic governments, including Iran's former Shah, seen as un-Islamic.

The embarrasing policies of the Bush Administration are making me feel as though we are truly becoming the "Great Satan" after all.
