"Ahmadinejad government is making every effort to embarrass the Iranian people. We have gotten used to such degrading and suppressive measures over the years and are fighting them in our own ways. But the poor few women from other countries living in Iran have no way other than staying home," a woman said.

Since April 2007, the mullahs' regime has introduced a new suppressive plan nationwide called "boosting public security" with the aim of crushing all resistance by especially women and youths. "

The women and youth,as well as the elderly are usually the ones who get pushed around the most. That regime is always looking for new ways to suppress them, especially the women, it's so sad.

She does write some great stuff-- but she rarely ventures outside of her column. Perhaps we should invite her to join this discussion? (For anyone reading this who is unfamilar with Summers' writing re the Iranian resistance, by all means check out her NV column)
