Good looking people. These young people want their freedom from the Jerry Falwell Islamic a-holes. This bodes well in a way and is ominous at the same time. Reactionary regimes can do some crazy stuff to divert attention from domestic trouble. Remember the religion crazed guys walking the streets of Tehran beating their backs with whips in the late 70's. Well their kids didn't get "oppressed" and aren't down with mom and dad's revolution.

the young shah is a pretty charismatic guy, by the way.

I think (if I'm not mistaken) that Persians hate being mistaken for Arabs. Some old old animosities I guess.

Anybody know why?
