Last summer I happened to be attending a meeting just outside DC on a day when a pro-Iran freedom rally was scheduled. Before I'd left I'd looked at the train schedules and realized I could make the rally. An Iranian friend gave me a Sun&Lion flag (NOT the flag of the mullahs!) to take so I could show American support.
Sadly, two trains in a row broke down, delaying me by hours. When I got there, it was long since over. All I have is this -- and I had to explain to the woman to whom I'd handed my cellphone to take this picture what it was all about.
