Poet who's unafraid of harsh words

摘要

I left the governor of the Central Bank of the Islamic Republic of Iran at 7:40pm on a Wednesday as he was about to go and lose his temper with president Mahmoud Ahmadi-Nejad.rnEbrahim Sheibany, who studied for his PhD in economics at the University of Indiana, says he has lost his temper "several times" with the president. "Sometimes there is a need for that. Because losing [your] temper, if you have control, that could be productive. Otherwise, [if you are not in control it could be] destructive," says the 59 year old, speaking in his office in the modern central bank building in Tehran.
