My husband was born in Iran. I went in 1999. I never met more gracious people, friend, relatives and strangers. I think people have had the wrong idea about Iranians for a long time. I didn't meet one person that didn't like Americans, they had issues with the government here getting involved in things so I do think our government needs to stay out of it for that reason.

Even then people had there ways of rebelling, it reminded me of kids having overly strict parents, they found ways of doing what they wanted. I had a niece in high school, every school book had a picture of the eyatollah on the front (which is the back to us) she drew horns on his head...hehe. My husband was afraid for her but that type of rebellion was just normal for them.

We would get in taxi's and the driver would see I was American so he would crank up the music, which was illegal. Many parties with dancing and mini skirts, also illegal.

I am hoping and praying for the people of Iran, its time for the idiots to be thrown out.
