The Daily Show is by far the most astute, sharp and humorous news program in the United States, a nation where public discourse is usually very low-brow.
Last night, the Daily Show had a very funny segment on the protests in Iran. Jon Oliver noted that Ahmadinejad's female supports are more appropriately dressed as opposed to Mousavi's "whores". Go to 2:25.

What the protests reveal about Iran is that society is far more liberal than the mullahs. It is clear that most Iranian women prefer not to wear the veil, but do so because the regimes forces it upon them. Looking at the photos, the women do the minimum solely because they have to. It is obvious that they prefer life without it.

As this woman demonstrates, Iranian woman want to be free. If she really wanted to wear it, she would tie it around more tightly. Alas, she doesn't. This is what Iranians are marching for: freedom to dress as one pleases.
