Re: do we like iran
To correct John Canadian it depends by country, for example people here in NZ don't hate Iran at all, people know it is a poor and controversial country with not so great a human rights record but we haven't taken part in the economic sanctions, our newspapers are neutral and sometimes even friendly to Iran and we had a nice article talking about Iranian culture and history while the whole political crisis was happening. Also Iranian students and many Arabic students are coming to NZ to escape the sort of attitudes developing in Australia (heavily allied with US and Israel), the United States, and of course Canada and the EU (Danish cartoons).
