Thank you for the information that serves to elaborate on the nature of President Obama's offer of a "new (or renewed) beginning." Only a president with Obama's worldview as well as multi-faith and multi-cultural wisdom, would be able to come…

In relation to Question 3, "Is there potential for tourism to contribute to improved relations between Iran and the West?", I am glad that you have brought a 'civilisational' perspective into this discussion thread by referring to the then Pr…
