LOL. Yes, this makes them different from many other countries. ::)
But seriously, as far as I know, Iran does not endorse any beauty pageants/contests/whatever because it goes against the islamic law.

Iran Iraq war lasted for 10 years+. This was AFTER whatever 'foundation' Shah laid. $500 Billion damage to Iran (wiki). So many iranians killed that, as I've heard, Male:Female ratio significantly lowered.
Still got any 'foundations' left?
Another example: Pakistan itself. When inherited from India, had very little resources on its own + not to mention the hostility from their neighbour (india).
In the 60s, under Ayub Khan (and previously, MA Zinnah), despite all the odds, Pakistan emerged as a 'miracle economy'. South korea was following its model. Growth rate was very high, on par of the now other Asian tiger economies (Malaysia/singapore etc).
Some of the biggest roads in Dhaka city (previously, east pakistan) was planned by Ayub khan. The parliament building of BD was constructed in his time. Someone I know had worked in Saigol group of the then west pakistan (in the 60s). According to him, the company had luxurious golf courses, its own corporate planes and other stuffs, which meant it could easily compete against any elite company.

No no dude. When two developing countries face off the only areas that get affected are the border areas. Iraq and Iran had a costly war yes but for Iran infrastructure loss was only limited to the region facing Iraq. Which means 60 to 78 percent of Iran was safe.
Most of the Iran's oil fields are near the Caspian sea and in the south near Qatar and UAE.
Persians are talented lot yo. Try going into Tehran University Campus and its like facilities and IQ level of debates of Oxbridge all rolled into one.
ut seriously, as far as I know, Iran does not endorse any beauty pageants/contests/whatever because it goes against the islamic law.
Yeah it doesnt but so what. They are still HOT. Most sought after commodities in California :o
Anyway on a funnier note i would rather be a LDC with Persian females *racist look ;) *

Iraq had the military backing of the US and other powerful entities. Iranians fought with their lives at stake and defended their territory, which ultimately resulted in a stalemate, despite much more causalities at the Iranian side. I'm sure that interior areas of Iran were not really safe.
By the way, I knew nothing of this about Iran before I looked in the wikipedia article. Had the typical image that Iran is a completely backward country (I think this opinion is common among people). It is very interesting to see how the international media tries to downplay Iran.
Attachment: Iran's scientific publications compared to other Arab countries. Not to mention that many are not considered because of sanctions.

The graph is useless. All over the world the number of scientific papers that are published is increasing. The quality, however, of these papers and their accuracy is falling.
Although, Iran may be responsible for the vast majority of the Arab world's scientific publications it must be remembered that these publications may not hold up once examined by other scientists because of inherent errors.

Yes, increasing, but Iran's - at an accelerated pace. You have to admit that.
Do you have any evidence to back this up (bolded part)?

I think Thompson Reuters (the source) had better idea about which articles carried enough credibility to be classified as a world class 'scientific' article.
