Us DC kids (actually Fairfax) in the late 70s/early 80s used to drive around the Iranian Embassy shouting "F*** Iran!".

Equally cool: thanks!

used to drive around the Iranian Embassy shouting "F*** Iran!"

I was a Metro Messenger motorcycle courier back then (the yellow BMW's), and had to deliver stuff to the front door of the Iranian embassy rather often.

First run the gauntlet of DC police, then get photo'ed by the feds, then try to get the embassy staff to open that huge brown front door.

I always assumed there were several automatic weapons on the other side of that door, all pointed at me.

Actually I guess it was just part of 81 and 82 - what was it, 444 days?

I was there then too, lived on Ft. McNair and went to St. John's up near Rock Creek Park.
