They are not in Iran because they had to flee. My former customer who was also a good friend was from Iran and had married a girl from Illinois. <br /><br />They had three children when he decided to move BACK to Iran. He had fled Iran after the Shah's ouster, and had figured out a way to go back home.<br /><br />Bob<br /><a href="http://spuriousmissives.com" rel="nofollow"> Spurious Missives </a>Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17665311979954859271noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-29832429768083042732011-06-22T08:09:29.926-07:002011-06-22T08:09:29.926-07:00Silverfiddle..no, most Iranians, most Muslims, do ...Silverfiddle..no, most Iranians, most Muslims, do not indulge in terrorism!<br /><br />Elbro, I have to admit I'm not big on the sweet stuff on basmati, but I know it's very popular..<br /><br />Ducky, the food is exquisite, rich and deep flavors with wonderful mixtures of sweet/savory, etc., but everyone to his own taste.<br /><br />Opus..I felt so badly for this guy who seemed to be embarrassed of who he was. <br /><br />Lisa, could it be that Iranians are anti-Israel or our government? :-) There are so many Iranian Jews that I don't know that only hardline muslims are anti Israel, but 'yes' to our government<br /><br />Mark, I have a Romanian friend with a Hungarian husband. They have said the same thing to me for years. <br />during the 2008 campaigning, I had some work done by Canadian guys in their early thirties...all Conservatives; I blogged on it; they had piercings, tattoos, etc.... They told me the same thing "We left Canada to get away from Socialism" They work hard and want to keep what they have; they warned about the health care, comparing it to Canada's (most Canadians will tell you it's fine for every day situations but when you have big surgeries, etc., LOOK OUT, then the trouble starts), etc...They wanted less gov't regulation, etc. I was surprised by those guys...<br /><br />Mustang...I see.<br /><br />AOW, that's why I mentioned it to my waiter; apologizing for our not having gone in to help the Iranians. I've heard for years that the CIA's been trying to lay some groundwork to get the Iranians free of the Mullahs and then, we dropped them in the mud when they were hoping to get support. I just don't get that.<br />Then we go into LIbya.Zhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15989573357446569262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-35772903283342080092011-06-22T07:32:18.358-07:002011-06-22T07:32:18.358-07:00When Mr. AOW was in the hospital in September 2009...When Mr. AOW was in the hospital in September 2009, I had a lengthy conversation with an Muslim woman who was an ex-pat from Iran. This woman brought up the topic of all the rapes of imprisoned women in Iran as one of those women was her niece.<br /><br />The woman I spoke with <b>HATED</b> Ahmadinejad. She believed that Obama would free the people of Iran by ridding them of Ahmadinejad. Hasn't happened, of course, despite that summer when Neda was shot dead in the streets of Iran.Always On Watchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08192688822955022541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516627478339613810.post-80028879591739120322011-06-22T07:21:04.873-07:002011-06-22T07:21:04.873-07:00See?

Very nice people, and note that none here have indulged in terrorism. In fact, my experience has been that Iranians here are like the immigrant of old. They love America and get to work contributing by taking care of themselves and their families through hard work.Silverfiddlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13541652236676260219noreply@blogger.com
