I read just recently that Iran has more internet blogs (like this one) active than anywhere else in the world. If this is true, and they aren't all pro government, I would bet that this recent degree is all over these blogs. In my humble estimation, this stupid decree will cause them more problems than they could imagine. As the old WW1 song goes " we can't keep em down on the farm after they've seen Pariee" .
