21st century Iran usually brings up my own mental image of Hezbollah thugs in Lebanon, a secretive nuclear program, and rockets whizzing over my head as I scramble for cover. But did you know that they are hiding a wide variety of Persian babes as well? Iraqi Bloggers Central has a pretty good round up for those interested in checking out babes from other parts of the globe (I'm a sailor, so it's a requirement and part of our tradition). Although, I disagree with his statement that women shouldn't be "shielded" or "occulted" away. Because, who am I to say what is wrong and what is right with someone else's culture? Many Iraqi women are just as lovely looking no matter how they dress in public. Unfortunately, it is considered extremely offensive in Arabic culture for us infidel types to stare lustfully at a women or engage in small talk you would find at a club on Saturday night. It can also prove very dangerous for the women in question if local militia/terrorist thugs find out she was flirting with the occupier (that's why it is banned to engage in relations with Iraqi women by US military policy). However, more than once a fellow sailor has quietly quipped, "Man, I'd like to see that hijab on the ground near my bed".
Yo Iran, We Want Less Weapons for Shi'ite militias, and More Babes!
