I know some Persian women (Don't call them Iranian by the way) and they are really hot. I dated one for about a year and there was nothing wrong with her or her sister.
Ladan (ex-gf) was a medical student back in '79 and she told me that although they marched to protest SAVAK (the Shah's secret police) they NEVER expected him to flee the country and especially never expected Khomeini to become dictator. She and others feel that it was the Shah's cancer that made him too weak and he gave up the fight for his throne.

The women in Iran are usually not in Chadors (Burkas) but wear a head scarf. I have written before of Ladan's job interview in Oman where she scandalized the hospital she was interviewing at by wearing a mini skirt and sleeveless top. In Iran you can get away with that indoors even in an office as long as you dress conservatively outside.

I am not apologizing for the govt of Iran or the religious nuts in power over there, but you have to remember that Persia has had a culture that goes back 5000 years and the people are very cosmopolitan. If they could ever get rid of the Mullahs you would see a totally different country emerge. Did you know that the biggest US Embassy and consular staff in the world was in Tehran? Something to think about. The average Persian wants to be on good terms with us and to be real players on the regional and world scene instead of pariahs like N Korea. What their government is doing is scaring them as well as us as I hear from Ladan, who still has lots of family over there.

Oh and the 80% of the vote for this nut in the last election? Remember that Saddam got 99.5% of the vote in HIS last election. Election results mean nothing in a dictatorship.
