IRAN

Here is a photo taken with my camera of an Ayatollah crossing an intersection in Iran. A friend of mine recently visited there. There are two types of people living in Iran. The religious hardliners and the residents that struggle to live a life free from troubles, free from corruption, free of greed, work on a daily basis and support their families or strive to attain an education. Two thirds of Iran is under 30 years old and Iran is the 4th biggest blog community in the world. here in California there is a large successful Iranian population comprised of doctors, buisnessmen, and architechts. Most uneducated Americans assume that Iran is a country of poor Arabs that are religious extremists, they all hate America, and we should go to war against them. Iranians are not Arabs and most would rather have Iran open its doors to some of our Western cultures. Here are some video clips from CNN International. If you have time, please take a moment and see their side of the world. Visit a blog from Iran or about it's people and understand the compassion and endurance of their lifestyles. Not all of these links are from Iran and the ones that are, may be scrutinized by it's government and punishable by law, so please take the time to hear their story.
