Iran to ban US citizens in response to Trump's order
- Cozumel 10y agoIt's not like any sane person would want to go there anyway!

- Broken_Hippo 10y agoLots have family there. And if it wasn't for the current events and recent history, it'd be a nice place. They were fairly modern before the Revolution back in the 70's, and life in Tehran wasn't too bad before some of the warring. At least this is my impression from immigrants I've talked to (Including one woman, who was a lawyer before leaving to study). This is one of those places with a very rich cultural history that extends back into ancient times, after all.

- JabavuAdams 10y agoWhat an ignorant statement! I personally wouldn't want to go to Iran, but I know several techies who have family or business interest there.
- SlipperySlope 10y agoHope that others on Trump's list do the same. A major step in radicalization is for some US Muslims to visit a radical Muslim country in order to become more devout and perhaps radicalized for jihad against the USA when they return home. Extreme vetting may fix individual situations when that policy gets deployed.
- HarryHirsch 10y agoPeople get radicalized in Iran? That country, at least in the urban parts, is remarkably secular. The expatriate Iranian community in the US is mostly urban, secular, and educated at US universities. If anyone wanted to turn Iranians into partisans they would have instituted a travel ban, that's the surefire way to really piss them off.
