This is a journey considered by many people to be impossible since the Iranian Revolution and later, the rise of the Taliban in Afghanistan.  They also refer to the troubles in Iraq as an obstacle.  The same people probably also consider the Apollo mission that put Niel Armstrong on the Moon as a piece of Hollywood and CIA propoganda that never really happened.  Get a life you guys!  Get out more,  Buy a truck..........!!!
