I am sure anyone who is interested in the issue is already following the fallout over the Iranian election.

However, I found this article especially interesting because it deals with women's issues on the whole.

As you peruse the images coming out of Iran from all over, remember this: when you see a woman with a tunic above her knees, red fingernails, an extremely loose headscarf and a protest sign, try to look beyond the "pretty". Those things are also a symbol of what an Ahmadenijad regime would deny (and, in some cases, has denied) her the right to be.

You've definitely got a point there - I didn't think of it that way. The only counter I'd point out is that KJII already *has* his nuclear weapons - he can say whatever he wants about not wanting to kill babies, but the fact remains that he has them so it would really just be crocodile tears. Iran doesn't *have* nuclear weapons though - they're just being accused of wanting them, and this is one of their reasons for denying the accusation. You're definitely right in that they can say anything, but I do think the fact that they don't have anything *yet* makes a big difference.

BTW I deleted the other post lol - sorry, I should have let you know before, but I figured there was no point in keeping it around since I'd already said it all in a previous post lol.
