If Lebanon is any indication of how it happens, revolution may be imminent in Iran.

Why?

PROTEST BABES!:
"Hundreds of women staged an unauthorized demonstration in Tehran today, protesting sex discrimination under Iran's Islamic leadership just days before the June 17 presidential elections.

The protest was the first public display of dissent by women since the 1979 revolution, when the new regime enforced obligatory veiling.

"We are women, we are the children of this land, but we have no rights," they chanted. More than 250 marched outside Tehran University, and about 200 others demonstrated two blocks away after hundreds of riot police swarmed in and barred them from joining the main protest."

1 Iran's got some hotties, I must say. All that needs to happen for them to get some equal rights and equal time and whatever else they want, is nothing ...in the bedroom!

2 Iranians think they can bring about a revolution without a fight. What fools ! They will learn that without killing the enemy, they only kill themselves. And waste precious time and oportunity in the process. The enemy is Islam, do something about it.

3 This is really encouraging. The collapse of the mullacracy in Iran would be about the best thing I could imagine. Iran is one very large domino.

9 So -- in the Middle East they're freedom fighters and pioneers; in the US they're "femininazis"? I betcha they're hairy-legged and angry and all the other ugly stuff over there, too.

10 Ah...well the photos rather speak otherwise. But I have a question for you Nicky: Why aren't the "Feminazis" supporting their sisters in the Middle East in their quest for freedom and equal rights? Where are the NOW rallies in support of the President's liberation of Iraq, the recent 'Cedar Revolution' in Lebanon, and the incipient revolution in Iran? I'd like to see some consistency too.

11 Thanks for the correction, DC. It was, indeed, a pretty cat. Feminism is in the eye of the beholder. Judge the ideas, not the labels.
