Really, Iran?  I mean, really?

Shirin Ebadi is an Iranian lawyer and human rights activist who won the 2003 Nobel Peace Prize for her efforts in spreading democracy and supporting human rights efforts.  In 2010 she was the Nobel Peace Prize winner that had her medal taken away from her by Iranian authorities because Shirin Edabi is, apparently, dissenter of the Iranian Government.

Not only that, the Iranian government has frozen her bank accounts. The government is claiming she owes 410,000 in back taxes.

At a time when Iran should be trying to show the world they want to be a member of the world community the leadership goes and does something like this. Truly amazing.  I guess one should never underestimate stupidity.
