The Chinese-Americans that had been here for decades and were not expatriates from the Chinese revolution looked upon the expatriates as stark raving fanatics, ashamed of their own country. And the expatriates used to point to every anti-PRC piece they could come across, to the largely unaffected Chinese-Americans many of whom had family that had lived in the U.S. for nearly a century. <br /><br />I thought about writing a post on this subject but I figured it would be received in way too emotional a manner, and that's really the heart of the matter where it concerns expatriates and the country of their origin.<br /><br />I can tell you this: the anti-China Chinese I knew back then that were so against U.S. rapprochement with the PRC back in the early 70s are today quite comfortable with China these days, with renewed business and social ties back in the old country. <br /><br />We've seen the same with Vietnamese expatriates; the ones that settled in the Tenderloin region of San Francisco.<br /><br />I'm confident that when rapprochement does take place between the U.S. and Islamic Republic, Iranian expatriates will also find the same mellowing of anti-Iran attitude plus opportunities the likes of which they'd never imagined. <br /><br />You see, Jabbar, I've seen it more than once before as an American with a partial heritage of continuos settlement on this continent that stretches back in time as far as the last ice age.Mark Pyruzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00595161519097596575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169130203475264933.post-90810267599814488432013-03-02T23:41:05.017-05:002013-03-02T23:41:05.017-05:00The first step to any future in Iran is democratic...The first step to any future in Iran is democratic transition then the people and their representatives can decide how to balance the religious traditions with the need to separate religion from government (to protect religion from the influence of the state and vice versa).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15665812073292288344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169130203475264933.post-31908282742688586842013-03-02T23:22:38.928-05:002013-03-02T23:22:38.928-05:00Iran has two identities: Nowroz and Ashura; only t...Iran has two identities: Nowroz and Ashura; only through the vatikan model those two identities can be reconciled; but now Iran is at war with itself ...
