Don't wear green in Libya

One of the first things I noticed when I arrived in Tripoli yesterday was the new national flags flying everywhere.  (Actually it was also the flag before Gaddafi's bright green flag.)  Jump to this morning, when I wore a bright green t-shirt to a meeting.  The national drivers objected strongly, and I changed my shirt quickly.
