Ahmadinejad bans Western Music

The Iranian President's recent decision to ban all Western music in his country is certainly a bold one! It's obvious how this one will play out. Such bans in the 21st century are inconceivable and far from intelligent even in the eyes of the most conservative individuals. I believe music should be discouraged, but for a national government to completely ban it isn't the smartest thing to do. I'm actually surprised no one has compared this to the Taliban style bans in Afghanistan. There are other ways to implement Islamic laws without gaining a hard line title for yourself.
