Iran Caption Competition: What Would a 6-Foot (Cardboard) Ayatollah Khomeini Say?

Here's the story. On Wednesday, the 33rd anniversary of Ayatollah Khomeini's return from exile in Paris to become the effective leader of Iran, the event was re-enacted for a military ceremony.

As the original Khomeini is in his mausoleum, a cardboard replica had to take the leading role.

All very dramatic in photographs, but we think there is more here. What would you say if you were a Cardboard Ayatollah? Or what you say to him? Or what you say about the entire situation?

Best answer wins a dinner with the Cardboard Ayatollah at a Cardboard Restaurant in Tehran....
