Pretty and stupid=pretty stupid.
Once you allow yourself to become an Iranian citizen (as this girl did), no matter where you were born, you are an Iranian and therefore subject to the whims of the Iranian regime. They do not recognize dual citizenship and will treat you however they please.
Pretty and stupid=pretty stupid.
as a matter of curiosity -
Because of her Iranian father, does the woman in question hold dual citizenship??
Ms Saberi, 31, was born in the US and grew up in Fargo, North Dakota, the daughter of Reza Saberi, who was born in Iran, and his wife Akiko, who is from Japan.
In 1997 she was chosen as Miss North Dakota and was among the top 10 finalists in Miss America 1998.
When she received her Miss North Dakota title, Ms Saberi said that her aim was to encourage other people to appreciate cultural differences - an ambition that eventually led her into a career in journalism.
She graduated from Concordia College in Moorhead, Minnesota, with degrees in mass communication and French.
Ms Saberi also holds a master’s degree in broadcast journalism from Northwestern University in Chicago and another master’s degree in international relations from Cambridge University in the UK.
She is currently working on yet another masters degree in Iranian studies.
Ms Saberi moved to Iran six years ago and worked as a freelance journalist for various news organisations, including the BBC, before her press credentials were revoked.
Her father said she had been determined to go to Iran, although he had expressed his concerns.
Mr Saberi said that despite losing her press status, his daughter had stayed on to finish a book on Iran and to study. He said she had planned to return to the US later this year.
But then came her arrest.
The development surprised former BBC Tehran correspondent Frances Harrison, who remembers her as a very careful person.
“She was a very cautious person and the kind of person who wore a headscarf even in diplomatic functions where there were no restrictions,” she said.
“She was careful about her reputation being a young, single woman living in Iran.”
She added: “She would know as a journalist that she would be under a lot of scrutiny - her phone would be listened too and she would be watched.”
This could be a ploy by the regime. Either it is being used as part of the run up to the elections [domestic] or her release could be a bargaining chip in the upcoming negotiations on Iran’s nuclear program. Her release could be used as a show of good faith to a gulible Obama administration who will point to it as Iran’s willingness to have better relations with the US. She has been convicted and her sentence is 8 years.
