This article was written by Jennifer Medina from the New York Times. Its purpose is to show the effects of governmental foreign policy on the everyday lives of Americans. Iranians immigrated to America to find religious and cultural freedom and it is extremely concerning they feel that the US may not offer these things anymore. During WW2 even civilians were effected by foreign policy in Europe. Today all US citizens are affected by US foreign policy towards the Middle East.
