No. There is absolutely no truth to the rumor that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad spent any time at Michigan.

Also, some members of Iran’s soccer team (playing South Korea in a World Cup qualifying match) wore green arm and wrist bands in apparent support for opposition candidate Mir Hossein Mousavi… or was it just for religious tradition?

And when in the 2nd half, some had removed the green bands, were they ordered to or did they choose to do so voluntarily so as to not arouse any suspicions?

H/T: Deadspin

Looking at the protest that is so overwhelming it cannot be quelled give me heart.

Can the people of Mexico likewise revolt? Do they have an incentive to do so, when escape is easier?

Can the people of N Korea revolt?

We are an enabler nation. We send money and negotiate with despots who keep their people enslaved on the principle of self interest.

We can only speculate on the apparent 'lack of green armbands", in the second half, but keeping them on was certainly a gutsy move.
