I'm willing to bet that you don't fly 2 engined airliners, have never been to Iran and believe the US propaganda about those nasty people that live there.

For those of us that do fly these type of airplanes we don't need some blog to tell us where is "suitable", we consider it every time we get airborne. You may not agree with what the professionals are telling you but that is was it is.
