Nothing Else Matters

Labor unions are illegal, yet workers have formed
them anyway, demonstrate, and end up brawling with police and Islamic
conservative irregulars. The workers want jobs, and are increasingly willing to
get organized, and get out in the street and fight. Meanwhile, the lifestyle
police have been ordered to crack down on women who do not cover up, and
thousands have been warned, or arrested. This has sometimes led to street
violence, and in some neighborhoods, the lifestyle police stay away, unless
they are prepared to come in force and ready to fight.   

 

The government sees no reason to change course on
its nuclear program, nor its attitude towards the threat of economic sanctions
from Europe and the UN. Iran is on a Mission From God, and nothing else
matters.
