Fascinating article on freedom and hypocrisy in Iran:

"I can afford yearly two or three months' vacation in Dubai, Europe or even America," my friend said. "Why should I bother to organize a protest against seizing our satellite dishes? We may be forfeiting our freedoms, as you say, but when the price of avoiding the authorities is so affordable, why would we risk everything to take on the regime? We have to wait until society itself is disillusioned, and the masses open their eyes."

I'm not quite sure how this ties together, but Something Positive wraps up a storyline that starts here with an apology, of sorts, to Christians. Worth reading.
