I dated an irani girl and lived with 2-4 of them while I was in college.
Persia sure has gotten fucked by certain Arab Muslims throughout history, and I mean that literally AND figuratively. {~; I think we're lucky that there are any Zoroastrians left at all.
It seems like a lot of people don't realize that Persia/Iran, India, Pakistan, the majority of western Europe, and therefore, many Americans, are all descendants of the Indo-Europeans. We come from the same stock. It's really annoying when people call Iranis Arab.
It would be cool to go to Tehran and Isfahan, though it would be much better if their goverment was more lax. Iran was extremely European before the revolution that overthrew the Shah, and then the world got that wonderful soul of a man-Khomeini.
