Iran Update

As a follow-up to my post, Laissez Faire in Iran, take a look at Nicholas Kristoff's own follow-up article, "Those Sexy Iranians." Kristoff tells us more about a younger generation of Iranian baby boomers (60 percent of the country's population was born after the revolution) who declare: "We want fun ... There's no joy here." Kristoff states baldly: "Ayatollahs, look out." Indeed.

Also take a look at Jesse Walker's fine essay, "Iranians are Feistier than Iraqis."
