Great Regulars: One Saturday afternoon while walking

down Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles, I gave into the urge to stop people at random and ask them what came to their minds when I mentioned Iran. Here are some of their responses: Islamic government, human rights violations, a nuclear threat, sponsors of terrorism, Holocaust deniers, women in veils, anti-Semites, Khomeini's fatwa on Salman Rushdie, enemies of Israel and the West, and the 1979 hostage crisis.
