34. I am also a fan of Iran; before Khomeini took over it was very progressive

and the women had much more freedom than other Islamic nations. It was very sad to watch it become a theocracy. I agree things are improving over there, and a predominately young population is going to be a key element.

Having a son in law who is Kurdish/Persian has taught me much about Iran and the culture. I do not see it as it seemed to be in the days of the revolution.

I would love to visit it with his family.

My new grandaughter hears Kurdish in her ear from her other grandmother, English from us and a mix from her aunts. My son in law hasn't decided but he wants her to learn Farsi.

I love it
