My inner Anarchist is deeply offended

There is very little if anything to like about the current regime in Iran. Ahmadinejad is a nut as are most the hardline mullahs in the government. That much is obvious. But when an administration bans certain hairstyles and eyebrow plucking of all things, well that is a sure sign that the administration is off its collective rocker. From CNN:

TEHRAN, Iran (Reuters) -- Iranian police have warned barbers against offering Western-style hair cuts or plucking the eyebrows of their male customers, Iranian media said Sunday.

In the broad spectrum of civil liberty abuse in Iran, this is a minor infraction but one that illuminates the level of control the regime is willing to exercise over its citizenry. Very, very scary. It should go without saying that Governments should never, ever have this kind of power.
