When Iranian president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad arrives in New York City to address the UN General Assembly tomorrow, he might see a curious sight: the spire of the Empire State Building, bathed in green - the favored color of opposition rivals in his country.
By sheer coincidence, the tallest skyscraper in New York will be lighted green not to piss Ahmadinejad off - you’ll remember he’s accused of stealing Iran’s election, and green-clad protestors have not gone away. Nope, the building’s owners are instead commemorating the 70th anniversary of The Wizard Of Oz.
As one Iranian blogger put it, “The universe is smiling and the stars are aligned!” Indeed.
