It appears that over 1 million folks of Iranian extraction now live in USA, mostly in CA. http://www.niacouncil.org/files/irancensus.pdf

People forget everything about Iran, and like to just dwell on the hostage crisis.

As far as the mid-east goes, the Iranian people are relatively progressive and Westernized. I heard an interview with an American basketball player on NPR the other day. He didn't make the cut of 360, or so, NBA players so where did he go? Iran. Who even knew they had a league?

The best finance professors I ever had were all from Iran.

I believe Simmons himself has commented on how, pre-1979 revolution, it was Iran that bailed us out of our own oil-peak and subsequent Arab-oil embargo.

I guess we are bound to repeat the same criminality that resulted in a "war of agression" against Iraq. Chapter two is in progress. The war jingoing is at a fever pitch. Oh of course, the cheerleadersare the usual suspects: http://www.aipac.org/iran/ (i remember it used to be /iraq but that folder is now gone!!)
