Good post. Here's an interesting story for you . . .

When the Islamic revolutionaries overthrew the Shah of Iran in 1979, the U.S. embassy was actually the second building they occupied. The first building they sacked was the Tehran offices of the International Planned Parenthood Federation.

Kind of puts things in a different perspective, doesn't it?

That's fascinating. I've never heard this before.
