Who are the greens ? They were reported to be absent at the beginning of this revolt. Are they good guys, or bad ?

You will never guess who just arrived.

Diane Feinstein! She bought treats for dogs!

She was late and never made it to mass.

The Iranian Green Movement (Persian: جنبش سبز ایران‎), also known as the Persian Awakening by the western media,[1] refers to a political movement that arose after the 2009 Iranian presidential election, in which protesters demanded the removal of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad from office. Green was initially used as the symbol of Mir Hossein Mousavi's campaign, but after the election it became the symbol of unity and hope for those asking for annulment of what they regarded as a fraudulent election. Mir Hossein Mousavi and Mehdi Karroubi are recognized as political leaders of the Green Movement.[2] Hossein-Ali Montazeri was also mentioned as spiritual leader of the movement.[3] The Green Movement protests were a major event in Iran's modern political history and observers claimed that protests were the largest since the Iranian Revolution of 1978–79.[4][5][6] from wiki.
