The Washington Post loves stories like that: "Of course, a minority of Iranians -- perhaps the 10 percent of society that sociologists estimate is hard-line -- still hate the Great Satan." Sociologists? This is now a scientific study of the extent of love for the US in Iran? I was expecting to read that a scientific study by this reporter has concluded that a US invasion of Iran would be a "cakewalk", and that Iranians would greet their American (and Mongolian) "liberators" with "sweets and flowers." Mark my words: she will soon come out with a book on admiration for Bush in Iran. But then again: she is the author of "Lipstick Jihad." Enough said.
