Thank you very much and God bless you.
For anyone who doesn’t remember Iran of 1979.
Iranians here in the USA, “Persians” many long for the return to pre 79. They are smart people too.
Thanks for posting that.

I think I see Betty’s problem right there. Do a little research before you take that leap, ladies.
(Goes for guys, too. Just maybe not as much.)
Excellent movie- too bad the star is a raging LWer....
That movie...! Terrifying.
What dumbass would marry someone from that culture? Seriously.
The book was very good, too.
Thanks for this post. What a beautiful scene.
“Without My Inbred Musloid Husband”
Thank you....
That book was good. It was also where I first heard of Ross Perot.
Yes, the music is so perfect. Thank u.
Yes...Real Iranians
call themselves
Persians.
hahaha......:) exactly.
Her husband was fully Americanized and 5hey had a good l8fe...
“Her husband was fully Americanized... “
So she thought.
I remember I was in Technical Training at Keesler AFB in 1977-78. There were Iranian men there receiving training. One instructor failed one of their students out, and he went home and was executed. They dated women there and some were distraught when November 1979 happened. They were crying and wanted to go to Iran with them. STUPID...
I had two Persian bosses during my career. Both were princes of men. Smart, engaging, very well educated, good managers, and successful.
They both were able to get out of Iran after the Shah fell. Their escape stories were really something, but not as amazing as my Vietnamese gardener’s escape from the NVA. He was a full colonel in the South Vietnam army, was captured and escaped to the south, hiding in swamps during the day and moving only at night.
I had a young Vietnamese engineer working for me who escaped on the boat lift from Vietnam. He was a young child and remembered getting strafed at sea by NV planes.
Then there were my great grandparents who fled from Danzig, Germany after the Soviet invasion in April 1945.
It’s amazing how many people I’ve known who have harrowing escape stories.
Should be a warning to any American woman planning to marry a moslem. I saw such a woman at the local hospital in 2016. All Muslim Veiled and Hijabed up with two children.
Very American. She allowed her children to pet a stray dog there. I bet her husband would have had a fit over that. (I now have the dog)
Saw another at a local store all covered from head to foot in black. IN THE OZARKS!
