The Iranian government's recent ban on Barbie dolls shows the government's desire to move away from the West. The blonde bombshell was added to the growing list of Western things Iran has banned. The Prosecturor General, Ghorban Ali Dori Najafabadi, expressed his desire to proect Iran's "Islamic culture".

"The displays of personalities such as Barbie, Batman, Spiderman and Harry Potter... as well as the irregular importation of unsanctioned computer games and movies are all warning bells to officials in the cultural arena," he wrote, according to a copy of the letter seen by Associated Press (<http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/middle_east/7371771.stm>).

All women in Iran, including tourists, must abide by the laws governing their clothes. Women must wear clothing that covers their hair, long-sleeved jackets that go down to their knees, and pants that do not show even the slightest peek of ankle.
