With all the focus I’ve been giving to North Korea and their nuclear tantrums lately, (Actually, I could care less, it just makes it that much more of an adventure to try and get in) it occurs to me that is isn’t totally fair to neglect our other nutty nuclear friends in Asia, Iran. In fact, Mr. Ahmedinijad and his friends are actually WELCOMING foreign tourist to come take a look at their nuke plant as USA Today reports.
Just keep in mind that if you do accept the invitation, the TSA and Iranian immigration might not appreciate any of these halloween costumes on your trip.

I spent a few weeks in Iran in 2004 and can confirm that there were no nukes in sight. I also was warmly welcomed by the people I met and felt no visible security presence other than when I returned to the US with an Iranian visa in my passport. It is a fascinating country and very easy to travel around in. Because of the oil, airplane tickets are dirt cheap, like $20 for a two hour flight.
