eight years ahead of switzerland!

thanks dk. i learn something new every day here.

around here we always say 'well this is the ME, not switzerland. what do you expect', it has become a proverbial excuse for putting up with dire social, political, and other realities in the region. is that proverb current in iran or about iran as well?

this really adds a little twist.

Much to the mullahs displeasure

by Farah Rusta on Mon Jun 21, 2010 04:49 AM PDT

Granting voting rights to women was not what the fundamentalist clregy wished to see. It was yet another ring removed from the chain of suppression the clergy had imposed on women. Even in the Islamic Republic, they couldn't take this right away.

 

Thanks for the blog Darius jaan.
