Wow, you don't lack for confidence, do you?
Could it be that despite the bits of Farsi you sprinkle into your prose - and I'm so glad that Mac OS X has the font, otherwise I might miss those bits of exotica - the Iranians in the "diaspora" may actually know the country better than you do, and feel less inclined to cheerlead than you? They might visit or have friends and relatives who are still there, and don't share your enthusiasms. Zeal of the convert and all that.
