Some young people never grow out of their adolescence and continue to assume that the rest of the world is simply like their college campuses and cushy internships. Their stupidity creates headaches and puts lots of good public servants in stressful and often tricky situations, and takes away time and energy from important issues. Here is an example of such a clueless young woman:

Why on earth would a young woman go to Iran of all places, pretend to be a 'journalist', and buy alcohol? Stupidity does not begin to describe the recklessness of people like this. Sadly, with Obama's new push for 'national service' (read 'playing adult with taxpayers money') more and more of such reckless behavior is to be expected.
The world is a dangerous place and Iran one of the most dangerous of all. Amateur feel good ambassadors work well in places like Luxembourg and the Czech Republic. Professionals are needed to handle Iran, Saudi Arabia, and the rest of that ilk. Please, lady, go back to your beauty pageant and Cosmopolitan subscription, and leave the Middle East to seasoned hands lilke Dr. Condoleeza Rice.
