Iranian Film Maker Has Message For The Lebanese People

She’s upset because the Lebanese authorities decided to postpone the showing of her protest movie “Green Day” in Beirut’s International Film Festival, in deference to Ahmadinejad’s visit:

Cinema lovers of Lebanon

Ahmadinejad stole our votes yesterday and will steal your trust today. His intention is not to help you, just as his intention is not to serve Iran. His firebrand cries of justice to Iranians has brought nothing but poverty, imprisonment and torture under the name of God and his rabble rousing against Israel is nothing but a public deception of the Islamic world and will bring nothing for your land other than war. He uses your land as a frontline trench of his imaginary war. His insignificant loan is like the blood money for the great spirit of the youth of your country.

I think the authorities made the right call by postponing the showing instead of canceling it altogether.
