"The hardline former Iranian President, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, says that the hijab law in Iran must be compatible with most people's wishes."
"Speaking to Mehdi Nasiri, the former editor-in-chief of an ultraconservative daily close to Iran's Supreme Leader, Ahmadinejad posed the question, 'If the parliament has passed a law, but the majority of the people rejected it, can one say that I would apply it at any cost?'"

Why the two Iran posts today? Showing us what it is like to live in a country that doesn’t have honest elections?
I don’t think Althouse has standing to write about Iran. No cognizable injury.
If the US Constitution said that only the legislatures of the several states could determine the method of federal elections but executive officials ignored it, who is to say that the constitution should be followed? Allah akabar.
Ahmadinnajacket and Ghotzbadeh for the win.
Signs of weakness in the Iranian regime?
Signs of growing strength for those outside the regime?
Or lies told in service of something else?
Advance work in preparing us to accept Iran as a normal nation ruled by normal people whom Slo Joe just wants to lend a hand when he gives them another pallet of unmarked bills and nuclear tech.
Don't worry Iran....Joe will be sending you some pallets of cash again really soon.
'If the parliament has passed a law, but the majority of the people rejected it, can one say that I would apply it at any cost?'"
Perhaps, Gruesome Newsome and other wannabe dictators should take note of this sentiment.
Right now the people are reluctantly compliant with dictates and some laws..and in other areas are practicing Irish Democracy.
Push it at "all costs" and see what the push back is.
Actually considering a hijab as an alternative to the usual face diaper.
The Iranian regime knows how to prioritize.
Why wouldn't they look at the US and think feel good symbolism would smooth the route to resumption of Obama's Iran nuclear deal?
Any USA moral preening needs to differentiate between governance styles. Once you lose that is like Virgin no longer.
wild chicken:
I say you go ahead and capitulate to two dictators at once.
I knew many Iranians in college (during the revolution) and know a few now.
Hate to generalize, but as a nationality/culture they are some of the smartest people on earth.
I will never know why they have put up with such bullshit for so long.
Mystifying...
"Ahmadinnajacket and Ghotzbadeh for the win."
Are they friends with the Russian, Kuchakokov?

Simple. The smart and sane that could leave did leave. It's not called brain drain for nothing.
I'm watching the 320 million people I agreed to live in peace with, burn down a thing we had. We're gonna start killing each other. Granted, it's a normal thing in human history, but I can't think about Iran right now. There is sadness, but also excitement. When this thing goes down, my peeps are gonna take Seattle and its port. Ports are important.
Then we'll ponder Iran. (Not really)
