My column on Iran has elicited some interesting email. But more interesting is a trend. I’ve gotten quite a bit of hostile email from Iranians living in Britain who think the Mullahs are great and the Revolution was the “greatest thing since the birth of Islam” in one fellow’s words.

Now, the greatest thing since the birth of Islam is a pretty high compliment for a devout Muslim. But one thing none of these correspondents can answer for me is, If Iran’s so hot, why aren’t you living there?
