QUOTE (blaarg @ Aug 12 2008, 11:10 AM)  I love how everyone has become an expert on Caucasian politics/geography/war-strategy. I guess Middle Eastern geo-political expertise is too narrow... On a random note, remember when there was a live grenade was thrown at George Bush during his speech in Georgia? I do! On another side note...my friend was planning on touring that region (Turkey, Armenia, Georgia, Azerbaijan) via train. What's funny, is he will have an incredible amount of trouble getting to Armenia/Azerbaijan now because his route has him first going through Turkey which means he can't enter Azerbaijan via: 1) Georgia (because of warfare) 2) Armenia (because of the strained Turkey/Armenia relations) 3) Iran (because well, he's American and it's Iran) He can go through Iran, it's actually quite simple. He'll have more trouble getting into the States but entering Iran, as long as he gets the proper paperwork filled out, is not an issue. I have filled out my paperwork to head there in the middle of March of next year and will be entering most of the 'Stans, Iran, and Ukraine. I don't see any posts in this thread which claim to be "expert" opinions. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

QUOTE (chook @ Aug 12 2008, 05:56 PM) Thanks Hartmann If you are the one trying to get in to Iran, the secret is to find a tour group to take a "guided tour" of the country. Usually these places will file your visa application for you. You will be scrutinized when entering the states and you can expect a pretty thorough interrogation at passport control. -------------------- "There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist." |

Look back through the sources of this information, they all go to dead ends. And read the damn text, does this make a shred of sense to you? QUOTE Russia has deployed tactical nuclear weapons to South Ossetia. The SS-21 Missile launchers are relatively weak compared to bombs that have already been used against Georgia by the Russian air force. WTF!?

A small enough nuclear load and a large enough conventional explosive and there you go. -------------------- Spam? Isn't that something poor people eat?
