Perhaps its time that tomorrow we begin a little history about Iran, which will explain why everyone is mad and or jealous of Iran.
go for it, Penelope. I cannot wait-------uhm---are you Iranian? I have an Iranian sister-in-law-------and in the course of my life---lots of Iranian friends-----both muslim and jews
That is good, then you can give insight into what life in Iran is like today. I was thinking of the 1900's, up to today. No I'm not Iranian nor do I know anyone who is. (that I know of as I do not ask).
Your comment is idiotic-----I have known Iranians since the midsixties when jewish kids were showing up in my town----being sent to the US by their parents from Iran-----something like the kids sent to England from Germany in the 1930s-----to protect them fron Nazis like you.. Then---I came into contact with both muslim and jewish doctors ----from Iran. I do not know Iranians living in Iran today. do you?
I know many Iranians in my city, both Muslims and Jews. In fact, if Penelope had the opportunity to speak to them, they would tell her that they miss the Shah. Imagine that -- thousands and thousands of Iranians left because they didn't want to live under those religious crazies. In the entertainment section of the Los Angeles Times, there was once an interview with an Iranian Muslim comic. He said that every time he visit the relatives in Iran, his cousins ask him how they too can come to America to live. I wouldn't be surprised if many Iranians want to come to America also.
Are you talking the wealthy ones, yes I'm sure they did well under the Shah.
I am not interested in what unhappy people have to say , I am more interested in the history, I bet there are many unhappy people in SA as well and even in the US.
Since you are so unaware of the status of Iranians here in the U.S., there are many who are wealthy, many who have good jobs like other Americans do such as engineers and doctors, and there are many who are just getting by. However, they were glad to get out of Iran or else they would have stayed and lived under those crazy religious fanatics The sad things is that some of the men stayed to run their businesses and sent their wives and children to live in the U.S. I can only think of one husband who eventually came to the U.S. because he was ill.
