Why A'Jad can't show his face

TO cancel or not to cancel? For the last three months, that has been the question for Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.

His allegedly fraudulent re-election last June triggered a crisis that has shaken the Islamic Republic, forcing the authorities to cancel dozens of events that the opposition might have used as cover for mass protests.

Among those are the Asian Games, the 20th anniversary of Ayatollah Khomeini's death and the start of the second decade of Ali Khamenei's reign as the "supreme guide," the International Jamboree of Islamic Girl Guides and virtually all of Ahmadinejad's trademark visits to the provinces. Even major soccer matches have been canceled or, for contests against foreign teams, transferred to other countries.

“... can’t show his face “

Zer0 could learn from that

Wasn’t there a report last week that Khamenei died?

[OrioleFan]

I was wrong.

[Scanian]

Yes...apparently premature.

Wishful thinking on my part - I wanted it to be true...

[Scanian]

I felt a little “tingle” myself when I heard the rumor.

Among those are the Asian Games, the 20th anniversary of Ayatollah Khomeini's death...

I wonder what the govenment did to mark Khomeini's death - drop a look-a-like out of a casket?

A tingle on the Right. LOL!
