A few months ago, I was listening to an interview with a public-television producer who had been on assignment in Iran. He was saying that, despite almost 30 years under a revolutionary Islamist regime, Iran remains a surprisingly normal country. For example, visiting a mosque, he was reminded of �Lutherans worshipping in the Midwest.� Except that �Death to Israel!� was scrawled along one of the walls of the house of worship � something you don�t often see in Sioux City. But his �guide� told him not to take that seriously. �That�s just the way we Iranians talk,� he explained. �Like if we�re stuck in traffic, we say: �Death to traffic!�
