#1 "Promoting sex among the young"

He means they wouldn't be interested if it weren't for us?

"Fatima, if you don't let me the Merkins will drop a JDAM on us... or maybe even two!"

#3 Given that most of the people over 30 have been killed over the years by warfare and the puritanical "cleansing," the vast majority of the population are young, except for the clerics. So, yeah, the prayer leader probably was watching MTV. Why was HE watching? I've never seen a young Mullah, maybe he couldn't afford viagra?

#4 Don't any of you rememeber Kremlinology 101? The vice that the Politburo railed hardest against the United States for was the one that they themselves succumbed to and were battling most severely.

Therefore...draw your own conclusions on the morality of Iran.

#5 Speaking of Iran, I was recently pointed to an Iranian blogger's site that has been consistently interesting over the past two weeks.

If anyone would like to have a look - here's the link Diaries of a Steppenwolf

He's a 20-something engineer. A bit younger than me, and I guess that by definition it's going to be particularly striking to me to see the differences in his life and mine, considering we're not quite so far apart...
