Parapundit links to the following Gaurdian article describing the Virtue Decay in Iran.
...Down in the basement, a man with an uncanny resemblance to the Sgt Pepper period John Lennon is recording a CD. With him, in the hot, stuffy studio, is a bassist dressed in black, a drummer and a 10-year-old Afghan boy playing small tambour drums. Behind the glass, a sound engineer is flicking switches and twiddling knobs. A girl in jeans, T-shirt and trainers is slouched on a sofa with a young man. Two other girls are watching the session. Not having visited the underground before, I am taken aback. The girls are not wearing the full, officially decreed women's dress code. This includes covering one's hair for fear of "stimulating" any man who might see it.
...Still, one figure that did leak out was a finding that the Ministry of Interior tried to keep secret: according to research among 16,000 people, 94% said the country was in urgent need of reform.
...Drug addiction is rife. While rich kids from the wealthier northern suburbs of Tehran pop ecstasy tabs and smoke dope, heroin and opium addiction are claiming an awful toll in the poorer south of the city... Many believe that part of the problem is that corrupt policemen are in league with the dealers in exchange for a share of the profit.
Teenagers universally carry the the Freedom / Rebellious meme. Too bad the Iranian regime gives them so much to Rebel against. The anecdotes in the article are numerous, poignant, and very much worth reading. Particularly the ones from the female, internet-literate Iranian teens.
