Asking someone out on a date is a difficult process that, for some students, can be nerve-wracking. Some students may choose to ask out that special someone by doing something creative or unique, others may use more traditional means like flowers and still others may just do it in person or over the phone.

"Democracy is the dream of every Iranian," Religious Studies Prof. Abdulaziz Sachedina said. Students of universities in Tehran go so far as to whisper that they want the Americans to come, that America "did good" in Afghanistan and in Iraq.
