I vote YES for the creation of the SOC.CULTURE.IRANIAN.
I believe this newsgroup can be a good tribune for 
Iraninans and non-Iraninans to discuss issues related
to Iran and Iranians.  It seems there is a lot of 
interest in creating this group and I hope it will 
be created soon.  

Here is a list of possible discussion topics for the SCI: 

     - Cultural, social and political issues
     - Literature
     - Marriage and divorce.  Family problems encountered 
       by Iranian families abroad.
     - Psychological problems of Iranians abroad.
     - Clash of cultures.
     - Do we feel at home, at work or otherwise
     - What can we do to help Iran(or Iranians). 
     - Do we stay in touch with Iran & Farsi language? How?
     - Can we or will we ever go back to Iran?
     - How our lives have been affected by living abroad?
     - Types of work we do.  Do we enjoy it?
     - When we were last in Iran.  Any memories?
     - etc, etc, etc ...
