BERLIN (Reuters) - U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said on Monday the United States was determined to reach out to the Iranian people despite quarrels with their government over Tehran's nuclear ambitions.

...

"The United States has been for some time trying to reach out to the Iranian people in various ways," Rice said. Iranians could travel to Dubai to get U.S. visas, she said, but acknowledged it might not be convenient for them to do so. "We want more Iranians visiting the U.S.," she said, adding that she favoured cultural exchanges such as visits by artists and athletes. "We are determined to find ways to reach out to the Iranian people."

Just great...the Iranians are all over the place in L.A.

That was my first thought. I unfortunately encountered a few of them this very afternoon. Yuk. Clueless Ms. Rice should have been here to "reach out" to them.

I deeply believe that more Iranians desire peace and cooperation with America than Jihad against America.

Yah, that's why the ones who become citizens here register and vote Democrat. LOL!!

Ms. Rice it seems is a perfect leader at the pathetically ignorant and UnAmerican state dept.
I use to think many agencies in the U.S. Govt. like the bureau of Indian affairs and education dept should be disbanded. Well the Dept. of State should be deported say to communist china or some other third world cesspool.

No, I did not know that. I had some business in the “Persian Gulf” yesterday, Westwood Blvd. The mayor of Beverly Hills is Iranian-born and they own much property/operate businesses in BH.

They don't call it "Tehrangeles" for nothing. ;-)

I believe that most of the population in Beverly Hills proper are Persian Jews. There has been a lot of tension between them and Ashkenazic Jews on the east coast (especially in Great Neck), and I'm sure its the same in BH.

I agree with your statements. If more Iranians VISIT us, not come to stay, they might take some useful insights and information home with them; things that will help them and their friends better understand that their leaders are full of it and are lying to them. And that we are not devils. Most of the population has had enough of The Ayotollas and their religious police goons.

And do you really think that the ones fed up with the government will be the ones allowed to come visit the Great Satan?

Ah yeah, I forgot that one: Tehrangeles.
Probably tension among them, no doubt, they seem to be strife-prone people, sullen and unhappy. They have very bad manners, demanding, smelly, etc.

Among the most revealing actions of Dr. Rice was the arrangement of her highly-touted Annapolis conference for Jews to use the side door so as not to offend those who wish Hitler had finished that problem.

Dr. Rice represents the mental illness of the so-called road map for peace, peace being the last Israeli eliminated by Hamas for Obama units wielding katyushas and vests.

We may stipulate that 70% of the populace of the Islamic Republic of Iran would rather be in Cleveland, but that demographic would no more be allowed to leave to visit the great satan than electric cars will convoy out of McCain's butt.

We may safely dismantle the State Department--Will Smith just volunteered to be America's roving ambassador of good will.

**I had some business in the “Persian Gulf” yesterday, Westwood Blvd.**

LOL, I;ve never heard of that one before, nor the fact they own most of BH. But I have met a lot of prominent Jews who sit on the BH City Council.
