April 13, 200519 yr comment_472699 I've seen commercials that made Beirut look like a nice place to visit, so I'm sure with enough computer magic and some crack film editing Iran will appear to be like Monaco. Then again, perhaps the airing of commercials is a sign that they don't hate us as much as they used to.

April 15, 200519 yr comment_472701 I've actually been there, so I feel obliged give some education here... Terhan is a beautiful city, the country is spectacular and the people are friendly. I'm sure stonings/floggings and prison tours showcasing imprisoned bloggers will be a big draw I doubt it.
