DISCLAIMER:  the following opinion is solely mine!

I vote NO for any sort of soc.culture.iranian until such time as the Iranian
controlled United States and all other foreign hostages are released from
Lebanon.  No offense to you domestic or imported folks who have so successfully
assimilated yourselves into the American culture.  To those Iranians, who come
to this country to get an education, and then demonstrate against the great
Satan United States,  I say get your ass outta here.  I'm not trying to offend
anyone directly here.  I'd just feel a lot better about things if the govern-
ment of Iran would quit dickin' around, get the hostages released - which
I firmly believe they could instantly accomplish, and lets get on with life. 
Iran has problems, the United States has problems, HELL, we ALL have problems.
Hasen't this shit gone on long enough?  Until such time as the crisis is 
resolved, I vote NO!
