#1 It's just part of Iran's project to expand culture and tourism.

#2 They have so deep a need for scapegoating that they canibalize their fifth colon tools. Marvelous!

#3 Shit. The Iran-born Baha'i father of trailing daughter #2's best friend is going back to Iran to visit family this summer. He's been waxing nostalgic for the old sand in recent years... his nostalgia has really bad timing.

#4 TW, bad timing indeed. Recommending overcoming nostalgia entirely and for Baha'is, twice the measure.

#5 TW: please warn your friend. In all seriousness, Baha'is, especially any with an American connection, should not go to Iran right now.

..if #2's best friend decides to accompany her pop, use skullduggery if need be to sabotage trip...

#7 Anyone, save a fellow terrorist, with plans of traveling to Iran is dumber than a sack full of hammers. Why not save a whole lot of time, trouble, money and effort by just staying home and leaving the stove gas on?

#8 I've mentioned. To the blond wife and to the daughters as well. Fortunately their passports are still being renewed, so they can't possibly go with him. Hopefully something will come up to keep him from going, but he's stubborn, and this may be a midlife crisis thing -- he's at the right age, and hasn't bought a red sports car.
