the price of truth!

i want to talk about this:

I could talk about this as well:
which by the way is my favorite topic of the past few months!

But lets just stick to the first one believe it or not an Iranian news paper got banned from publishing further issues by the Iranian ministry JUST because of that! 
you may have no idea what this is about so let me give you a short background.
twenty something years ago Iran fought with Iraq for 8 years and back then the fighters stood in the same order as in the picture and helped each other to tie their head bands.
but this time as the world is hearing the whispers of Israel attacking Iran this cartoon is telling the real story of Iranian lives and that's probably why the paper got banned.
every time the war topic comes up in Iran the Iranian government says that we have no fear and that people would still go and make sacrifices just like when they did so during the war with Iraq.
but the real question is will they?
as it's shown in the cartoon this time they are covering their eyes to avoid the truth in front of their eyes!
there are dozens of points i want to talk about but lets just talk about a couple of them!
first: Yes! that's how freedom is in some countries!
second: Newspapers can have such a huge influence on people that sometimes it makes the rulers afraid!
