February 3, 20179 yr Iran bans U.S. wrestlers from entering country for meet | OlympicTalk Thanks a lot President Trump. Should the US consider international sports when making policy decisions?
February 3, 20179 yr Author Should the US consider international sports when making policy decisions? No. But we shouldn't make stupid, poorly thought out, and hastily executed policy decisions either...
February 3, 20179 yr There is more to come after the missle test. Americans probably should re-think any travel plans to Iran in general.
February 3, 20179 yr No. But we shouldn't make stupid, poorly thought out, and hastily executed policy decisions either... I agree. Obamacare was pretty dumb.
February 3, 20179 yr No. But we shouldn't make stupid, poorly thought out, and hastily executed policy decisions either... Dont most Americans that go to Iran end up missing, detained, or dead.
February 3, 20179 yr Dont most Americans that go to Iran end up missing, detained, or dead. For $400 Million you can get them back...
February 3, 20179 yr The Warning: Compared with other safety cautions, the State Department’s warning for Iran seems tepid. “U.S. citizens [should] carefully consider the risks of travel to Iran.” The warning specifically mentions Americans of Iranian origin, who may be “targeted by authorities.” The United States has no embassy in Iran, but the Swiss Embassy in Tehran has a “U.S. Interests Section.”
February 3, 20179 yr Author Dont most Americans that go to Iran end up missing, detained, or dead. Not the wrestling team. Long history of competing in Iran.

So one who is born in Iran is alwasy considered a citizen of Iran, thus, they are always subject Iranian authorities actions - without the protection of their other dual citizenship county when they are in Iran.
February 3, 20179 yr I agree. Obamacare was pretty dumb. Looked at a pay stub from 2013 while cleaning out my desk. My monthly premium went up 180% in four years. Same company. No one on it but myself.
February 3, 20179 yr No. But we shouldn't make stupid, poorly thought out, and hastily executed policy decisions either... Your absolutely right Congress and Barry should have thought better before they made that law last year.
