And why are we allowing travel to and from Iran?
Lot of American-Iranians around....fair number of them left in the 1970s when things were falling apart. Most all of them are pro-US.
Feds moved travel restrictions to Level 4 IIRC, yesterday.
“And why are we allowing travel to and from Iran?”
There is a huge number of Iranians in the US. Many are citizens. They have family in Iran. They fly to an intermediate destination that has connections with Iran and then “home.”
I worked with two American/Iranians and they were terrific people. But the Iranian students I met in college were like dealing with crazy people. They saw the world so differently and through such paranoid eyes there was no possibility of having any kind of meaningful relationship. They saw the world in a similar way to what Christians saw it 1,000 years ago, with God or angels looking over their shoulder all the time. Their mental universe was tiny and Mohamed was everywhere. They often said something like, “by Allah’s will,” or “I will pass the test if Allah will’s it.” So, studying wasn’t necessary as long as Allah was on your side.
