Bad Bad Barbie.

Through-out my posts I have continually bashed American foreign policy, and defended numerous nations pursuit of individuality, specifically Iran. As much as this may seem to be unpatriotic, I just feel the US is able to better the world in better ways than enforcing it's will and flexing it's muscles towards other nations that don't agree with it. With that said I do applaud the US on their continual support of freedom of speech, press, everything that allows politics and individuality to challenge the state by the people. Iran recently banned toys such as Barbie, Harry Potter, Batman, saying these toys reflect poorly on the Muslim beliefs, for example Barbie's lack of clothes and Iran's law requiring women to be completely covered. The cleric ruled state should be pushed on allowing freedom of dress to the people, specifically women. I often wonder what quartering is like for young college aged students like myself in the female repressive country. We live in socially conservative South Dakota, the women are still very strong willed and dress in a way to reflect their physical attributes, I wouldn't know how to go about strikingup conversation, or quartering an Iranian girl, it seems they would all be the same subordinate women in public fearful of the repercussions of speaking to a man. Lets stop forcing people to adopt nuclear conssesions and focus more on what people are wearing, consumerism after all is America's gift to the world.
