[governance] Iran's ministries to go offline: phase one of move to intranet society

[Fahd A. Batayneh]

True. And that is apparent from the number of Iranians who have left their
country and immigrated to up North in search of greener shores and more
democracy. I admire the brains the Iranians have, but it is obvious that
their respective government is positioning these brains on less - or even
not - important issues.
