Many in America believe that traveling to the Iran would be a very dangerous and foolish thing. What would you believe would happen to a group of (mainly) American Astronomers if they were to travel to Iran? How would the Iranian people treat them? Would they be safe?

This short video segment highlights the odd situation where the government of a country is openly hostile towards America while at the same time the people are incredibly welcoming and appreciative of their presence.

The venus transit tour brought the American Astronomers into contact with many Iranians all around the country from all walks of life.

Thanks for this.

Haven't seen you in awhile. How are you doing?

[YaYa123]

Lovely scenes of Iran! Thanks. I'll most likely never get to go, but I still miss dear Iranian friends from long ago. You have to wonder what happened to all the Iranian military families who came to the US to live, work, and train with us. They loved America!

The musician Fereydoun Farahani is very good. Talented guy.

There's an Iranian college student interning at the non-profit organization I work for. She's gorgeous!

Another star of Persian descent: Catherine Bell. Too bad she's a member of the Scientology cult.

Our problem is not with the Iranian people, but with the policies and actions of the Mullahs who run the country. Iran is working on the development of nuclear weapons; it is the world's biggest state sponsor of terrorism; and al-Qaeda and militant Islamic fundamentalism can trace their ideological roots to Khomeini.

Iran needs to be liberated.

I would love to know more about Iran...like the video suggests, CNN and the MSM do not give a very open view of this country.

[McGavin999]
