Over the last four years, the Iranian authorities have ordered the closure of more than 100 newspapers associated with the country’s reformist camp. This pressure has peaked again in recent weeks, with the issuing of a closure order against the daily Sharq, which is considered the most prominent of the reformist papers remaining in Iran. Sharq was shut down because it published this cartoon on September 7, 2006.
The cartoon shows Iran’s and the West’s moves on the nuclear issue. The white horse represents the West, while the braying black donkey with the halo is a satirical depiction of Iran. The halo is a reference to the remark made by Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad following his speech to the U.N. General Assembly in September 2005; Ahmadinejad claimed that during his speech he had felt surrounded by a circle of divine light, symbolizing his messianic message to the world.
Wild Thing’s comment…….
This was the post I did about the circle of divine light surrounding Ahmadinejad.
Can we elect Ahmadinejad to be mayor of New York so that he may shut down the New York Times ?

Billy that is a brillant idea……….LMAO.
Witnesses say he had a green light emanating from his head. I think it was flies.
That halo was really intestinal gas rising in the Turd Worlds main outhouse, the UN.
If he keeps it up he may get a very bright flash followed by heat.
Rhod………..LMAO omg how funny!!!
