Time has proven that President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, ridiculed for claiming to be surrounded by a green light when he addressed the United Nations in 2005, makes a better soothsayer than an Iranian president.
A definite tea totaller, Ahmadinejad was the only one who saw green lights and halos during his first official address to the United Nations General Assembly, but the country he rules has been as green as far as the human eye can see since his “re-election” last week.
Green will dominate today’s mass rally as protest deaths are commemorated by demonstrators in Tehran.
