The Iranian government is beyond idiotic. This is why democracy is so important. This garbage will go out to Iranians without any rebuttal, something that won't happen in a free society. I only hope the average Iranian is more intelligent than to believe this BS.
The average Iranian won't believe it, but the average DU'er will....
My understanding from Iranian acquaintances is that there's a lot of telephone and email discussion between family members in the States and in Iran. Also surprisingly a lot travel, with U.S. relatives visiting "home" more often than one might think.
That sounds pretty much like the situation with Vietnam. Everyone from Hue to Ca Mau knows from their wide interaction with expatriate relatives now in America, France, and Aussie, that the Hanoi government is a lying sack of s**t.
