Lisa, My feeling towards this visit was unequivocal: more power to you and the good deeds you do. However, after reading a comment by another Iranian (seemingly) on Allison's blog, I got a bit of a shock. I don't know whether you have seen this: http://sarbazekuchak.blogspot.com/2006/01/little-goebbels-in-israel-israel-has.html This Khorshid guy is quite venomous toward your guest. And seems to have some arguments. It may be good if you could talk with Hosein openly about this. Best wishes.
