The Iranian regime suffers from bi-polar disorder when it comes to Afghan refugees. A few years ago they sat about throwing the Afghan refugees out (reasons cited: they take jobs away, they do illegal stuff, they sell drugs–in other words the Afghan refugees were to the Iranians what the Mexicans are to the Republicans in the US), now there has been a bit of an about face. The Iranian government has announced that they will accept Afghans with open arms, they can stay, work and even send their children to school.
From what I hear, one can hardly find a vehicle in areas where the populace have tended more towards Iran (than Pakistan). A word to these Afghans: don’t accept the free house in Qom, or for that matter, any place were things may have a greenish glow!
But what the fuck is the regime seriously thinking? Depopulate certain areas to create more widespread instability? Have a bargaining chip against Americans? Patronize parents and indoctrinate children (i.e. repeat the 80’s? The hairstyles and fashions seem to be making a come back why not Shi’ite revolutionary adventurism?)? Your guess is good as mine…
