  2. I met a few Persian friends online in a yahoo chat group. After Bush's Axis of Evil speech, I simply got on there and said that the culture is beautiful and that not all Americans wanted war. I learned in 2001 that most of the population of Iran was born after the Iran-Iraq War, and that they were majority pro-west and had been especially invigorated by the fact that the US was ousting Saddam. There was also a small social revolution in a sense that boys and girls were holding hands in public, sneaking off to the mountains, etc. Girls wanted to wear skirts and ditch the veil. Folks were painting and playing heavy metal music in secret. in 2001, I thought it was just a matter of time, if all things were simply left alone, that the Persian people would thrive as a democracy and that it would be in the US best interests to normalize and improve our relationship, especially as a counter to Russia. The problem is our relationship with Israel.  @astiackizakovic7525
