As the Green movement grows and persists, the otherwise disunited Iranian diaspora seems to be coming together, if only temporarily and begrudgingly, behind the green banner. Amongst the most highly-educated and affluent minority communities both in the United States and the world, a united expat front has the potential of creating buzz in local Western media that protests taking place in Iran are otherwise incapable of producing on their own.
