Eat it.
Theirs is not the Iran of bearded ayatollahs and thuggish militias, but a country that has educated itself to the point where it finds the Islamist fundamentalists antiquated and laughable, where adult literacy (and computer literacy) is higher than in many European states, and where 70% of the population is under 30 and keen to usher in a new Iran. As one blogger (safsari.persianblog.com/) wrote:
"There are those such as Abtahi [Iranian Parliamentary ex-Vice President Mohammad-Ali Abtahi] who have called our virtual community too political and have put that we should use weblogs for their intended use... that is to say, for clich�d daily diaries... So what if we use our blogs in ways not intended for or defined during the distant conception of this media...At a time when our society is deprived of its rightful free means of communication, and our newspapers are being closed down one by one - with writers and journalist in the corners of our jails... the only realm that can safeguard and shoulder the responsibility of free speech is the weblogs..."

et, those in opposition to govt, if that means they are also standing against the blackhats ...my hat is off to them.
However, I would hardly think that these guys & gals swearing at the mullahs from hell represent the opposition to Tanatwi and Qaradawi.
But they sure as hell can be the hope.
Epa,
I would just like to say I have no idea what you just said.
Whatever it is that you're on, I want.
