I'm not sure. Is this a "one way" trip?

I wouldn't want to go to Iran. If I had to go, It would mean I had joined the Military and we were going to War. I still wouldn't want to go.

I hope not. I hear the Iranian people are very hospitable. I will let you know when I get back.

Well, my best friend is Iranian. So I'd be looking forward to partying it up in Tehran. It's a great country with a fantastic culture and history. I'd love to go.

Not too happy, since it's not high on my "to visit" list.

I'd love to go. I'd be very excited. I'd also practice my fake Canadian accent so I didn't have to go around being apologetic.

You could say that about most countries.

I'd love to go to Iran. Amazing history and culture - certainly not an "evil" place, as some have called it.

I agree . Most people around the world share the same things. Family, friendship, community, etc.
Religion, Politics, and money are what seems to divide people

Been there, done that.

Iran's a shithole.

Stay out of Tehran, that place sucks. Shiraz is decent.

Which is an Indo-European language (unlike Arabic, I believe) related to a whole host of languages including most modern European languages as well as Hindi.
