NOT since Ahmadi-Nejad took over August 2005. Anything that took place in years before that holds true nor is currently valid. I expected your "deflecting" comment and in this case disinformation.
lol.
So we can assume you checked with your friends in Tehran? Cuz I'm checking with mine to verify that this practice is still going on and whether the Christmas photos presented as being for 2006 are real. We'll see.
And by the way, I said the practice of Christmas displays in Tehran has been going on for yrs. And it has. No disinformation. If it stopped this year, we'll find out. But you clearly made it sound as though this sort of thing has never been allowed. That's disinformation.
