Three Cheers for Ahmedinejad!

Iranian Prez Ahmedinejad is one gutsy man. The point in question is his decision to allow ladies to attend sports and game matches. After nearly three decades, Iranian women will be allowed to sit in stadia and watch and cheer their teams play. While this has been opposed by some clerics, he was right when he said that many rules have been established without necessarily being Islamic rulings. They are just orthodox rules. And besides, if there is ever anything immoral, we just tend to blame the women. He said it was high time men took some responsibility too. Kudos to him. And since segregation of the men's and women's seating is going to take place anyway, I think this is a good decision.
