I think all people who want to bomb Iran should watch this:

Very eye opening. I doubt he would be allowed to do a similar show in Saudi Arabia.

awesome video. Rick Steves is one of my favorite hosts shown on PBS, just behind Rick Bayless.

Ya know I'm really glad you posted this.

Before I saw this RS episode last year- like probably most Americans- I had no knowledge of what the people of Iran were really like.

Watching this for the first time right now, really enjoying it so far. I'm pretty amazed, actually Libya is pretty nice as well. It's a shame what happens to these countries once the military industrial complex gets its nails in.

We have to really fight to make sure Iran doesn't turn out like Iraq... Dr. Paul made some great points about them pumping up propaganda about Iran and people are falling for it.

True. Women have more rights in Iran, there are even female firefighters.

I wonder what it is that Rick Steves disagrees with Ron Paul on? My guess is most likely economics. Many liberals really fall short in understanding where Paul comes from on this.

Rick Steves thinks we shouldn't jump the gun on Iran without completely understanding them first. Very fair thing to say. I think liberals like him shouldn't jump the gun on disliking his economic policies without trying to understand them first. So many liberals that hear when someone wants to eliminate welfare and the minimum wage think it is harmful to the little guy. They just don't understand how it is keeping them down in the first place.

Obviously government propaganda. PBS is funded and controlled by the federal government.

Am I being sarcastic? Yes and No.

This video really makes me sad. sad because the people leading, and wanting to lead my country want to bring death and destruction to this people. I don't blame Iran for wanting a nuclear weapon with such a vibrant history and culture I'd want competing weapons to keep them safe.

I like this show. Putting yourself in others shoes tames the warmongers urge.
