Iranian student confronts Ayatollah Ali Khamenei
It'll be interesting to see if this guy is still around in 1-2 weeks, even if he takes Asylum in Europe. 
Bief excerpt:
Quote:
An unassuming college math student has become an unlikely hero to many in Iran for daring to criticize the country's most powerful man to his face.
Mahmoud Vahidnia has received an outpouring of support from government opponents for the challenge — unprecedented in a country where insulting supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei is a crime punishable by prison.
Perhaps most surprising, the young math whiz has so far suffered no repercussions from the confrontation at a question-and-answer session between Khamenei and students at Tehran's Sharif Technical University.
