An American in Iran

By Rick Steves/Courtesy of GoNomad.com

Friendly people but some unfriendly signs

I'm working in Iran, part of the "axis of evil" (as defined by my president) in a land whose own president leads chants of "Death to America." This has me thinking about bombast and history.

Of course the word "axis" conjures up images of the alliance of Hitler, Mussolini, and Hirohito that our fathers and grandfathers fought in WWII. Many locals in each country believe that each president maintains his power only by his ability to stir the simplistic side of his electorate with such bombast.
