Yes you are completely right but out of Bush and Kerry I don't trust Kerry as I have researched much of his war record and it scares me what his fellow soldiers thought of him.

Wait, you're talking the Swift Boat Vets, right?
None of whom served with him, and most are paid by republican lobbyists?
Have you listened to what the vets who served with him have said?
Get both sides!
Yeah, Iran certainly sucked for those who were on the losing side of the revolution in 79. I know lots of Irani expats here, and they all had to leave in a hurry, and many didn't get out with all their relatives. No doubt about it - the Ayatolloyah was an evil B****D.
And, yeah, most Muslim countries suck for women. Not all, but most. There's nuances and ways around it, of course. When I was over there there was a thriving underground of booze and pick-up scenes. I could have gotten all the gin and other liquor I wanted. And, the scariest part of my whole trip was when I was in a store having tea with a shop keeper, and in walked three high school irani girls, and they sat and giggled and made jokes in farsi (I couldn't understand a word of it) and then, suddenly, one leaned over and planted one right on my lips. Seriously. I was totally shocked. And scared. Like, the religious police are gonna cut my head off when they come around the corner scared. SO I stammered something unintelligible, and left. The shopkeeper later said that they just thought I was real cute with blond hair and they wanted to marry me. Yowza! Sorry ladies, not gonna happen...
All in all, a memorable experience.
