Images of Tehran, Iran (May shock)

Truely amazing!

Those images are hard to believe since all the media shows us is bloodshed and Violence.

You wouldnt think that in a Country thats going through so much that It would have such beautiful places like such.

As is typical in most nations and countries, it's Not the peoples, it's the damned governments that foment the issues, hype and media mentions we encounter from day to day.

Otherwise, we're all just folks trying to get by, make a living, enjoy life to it's fullest.

this is the one statement that i've come across since i've been a member that rings the truest.

we'd all have more fun, if not for the maniacs of the world. power mongers, insecure control freaks and all the like, that aspire to rule.

i know an iranian woman who's lived here since her teens and she's fun as hell, not to mention stupidly beautiful. partied with her fam, and OMG i dont understand half of what they say when they speak in their native dialect, but they work/party HARD!!!!!

i've been invited to iran to visit numerous times. i plan on going eventually.

i know bosnian families too, Pakistanis and indians as well, and being "african american", it's great to know the "common folks" are just like my folks.

Not sure how legit they are...

I have an Iranian friend who just went back there. When he gets back, I'll show him the pics to see what he thinks...

Hello freighttrain, nice to meet you and just ignore people like Redpyramid. Thankfully they are a minority. Iran is a beautiful country with a proud heritage, may it long continue & stay that way. Peace! Hopefully someday I'll get to see this beauty for myself.

You are talking absolute utter crap. Even with conventional weapons, Iran as a country hasn't attacked anyone. Meanwhile back to reality, something some American's obviously are incapable of grasping.

What a beautiful area - I had no idea. We 'assume' it looks just like Iraq.

Iraq used to look much the same, at least it did before we made a return visit...
