I don't think the Iranians decided anything. I think the crazy old Ayatollah imposed his twisted view of society on them and put the religious nuts in charge. Women and children have been murdered for crimes of dressing wrong. Its not as bad as Afghanistan, but it is very backward. I know many decent, educated Iranians (and a few Afghanistani's) who have had to leave and stay away, and are becoming Americans. The miracle is that so many people (many of them quite strange to previously settled Americans) can fit into and become American. We too naturally assume that because the ones we know can so can everyone in situ. It isn't so. It took Europe 200 years to recognize some of great ideas of personal freedom and self-government that Americans helped pioneer.
