And when they do they don't wear their veils and headscarfs and all that.<br />Yeah, there are laws forbidding alcohol and partys and stuff but that doesn't mean people just don't celebrate any more. I've also seen young couples holding hands in the streets there although it's not allowed. <br />Just a matter of perspective. <br />(Oh, and btw: During the time this pic was taken Iran was no democracy either. Not saying the Mullahs are better than the Shah but it wasn't the Golden Age either. Being able to party is ONE indicator of a society's freedom, but not the only one.)Julesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217567241723465318.post-5885210853769388342011-11-10T10:24:00.669-05:002011-11-10T10:24:00.669-05:00When I was your age the only reason to dance in Te...When I was your age the only reason to dance in Tehran was because somebody was shooting at your feet.Tylernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217567241723465318.post-64678539537474671312011-11-07T21:17:18.276-05:002011-11-07T21:17:18.276-05:00This is the Iran my Persian friends' parents t...This is the Iran my Persian friends' parents talk about.Nealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06719857040563324130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217567241723465318.post-63743211070650119712011-11-07T15:21:32.832-05:002011-11-07T15:21:32.832-05:00yea! finally my people aren't in a picture and...yea! finally my people aren't in a picture and being compared to terrorists and murderers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217567241723465318.post-72836383863111424232011-11-07T11:35:39.863-05:002011-11-07T11:35:39.863-05:00rock and roll forever.rock and roll forever.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217567241723465318.post-90333985824549326342011-11-07T05:21:27.400-05:002011-11-07T05:21:27.400-05:00This could be the "before" picture in a ...This could be the "before" picture in a campaign about the effects of Islam...Joe Mullahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4217567241723465318.post-78868512976590972412011-11-06T23:11:19.774-05:002011-11-06T23:11:19.774-05:00I've seen some pretty great photos of Afghanis...I've seen some pretty great photos of Afghanistan in the fifties.
