My favorite new prominent international villain, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, received a chillier, and more sharply critical, reception today at Tehran University than he got at
By the way, the word “villain” traces its etymology to the 14th Century, when it meant an “inhabitant of a farm; peasant; churl, boor; clown; miser; knave, scoundrel.” Many of these would apply to Ahmadinejad, although I don’t think he was a farm boy before becoming a revolutionary in the late seventies.
