TS, I lived in Iran and my eldest son was born in Iran but we were in a beautiful town near the Caspian sea and rarely ventured into Tehran. It was very civilized where we lived but everyone was afraid of the regime. And you're right, its steeped in history and culture. Its not that many years ago when women could walk around the holiday resorts in bikinis.
