Very good article. I grew up being brain-washed about the
so called evil Iranians and all the bad things that they do. Then,
in the early 1990's I was working in Japan. While meeting a late
night flight at Narita Airport, I had to stay in the airport for the night.
Unable to sleep, I started speaking with a businessman from Iran.
To pass the hours, we played chess and talked about various topics.
We parted ways with a handshake and wishing each other good luck.
That was my first time meeting with a citizen from Iran. I had learned
in a very short time that the propaganda that I grew up with wasn't true.
Thank you again for your article and the good memory that it brought back
to me.
