You do realize that stores like these are rooted in xenophobia? The rich but stupid Iranian who dies of his own ignorance. More money than common sense. Because we all know if you are from that part of the world, you can't be smart or technologically adept.
I went to flight school in the early eighties and flew with many guys from the middle east. They were the same mix of intelligence as any other group of students.
