Here is a tip for you Hippy Leftists. Don’t travel to Iran thinking they are sane... Just settle with pictures and your own dreams of a peace loving Islam.
Us Conservatives will deal righteously with them.
Back around the late sixties the then popular rock group Blood, Sweat, and Tears did some concerts in places like eastern-bloc Romania. When they got back to the States, they gave a press conference wherein they detailed their utter shock at finding out how despicable a totalitarian state was. Apparentely they and their fans were treated very badly by the Romanian police. Leftists at that time were fond of propagating the myth of Amerika the evil empire. So when they visited an actual leftist-run country, imagine their surprise. Hippy rock and rollers are the most naive people in the world.
