Young Iranians keep popping the question, ''So how can I get to the U.S.?'' I ask why they want to go to a nation denounced for its ''disgustingly sick promiscuous behavior,'' but that turns out to be a main attraction. And many people don't believe a word of the Iranian propaganda.

''We've learned to interpret just the opposite of things on TV because it's all lies,'' said Odan Seyyid Ashrafi, a 20-year-old university student. ''So if it says America is awful, maybe that means it's a great place to live.''

Indeed, many Iranians seem convinced that the U.S. military ventures in Afghanistan and Iraq are going great, and they say this with more conviction than your average White House spokesman.

One opinion poll showed that 74 percent of Iranians want a dialogue with the U.S. -- and the finding so irritated the authorities that they arrested the pollster. Iran is also the only Muslim country I know where citizens responded to the 9/11 attacks with a spontaneous candlelight vigil as a show of sympathy.
