The American Tory

Apparently the Iranians believe the movie “300″ is an American plot to undermine Persian/Iran civilization. Clearly the Iranians have developed a robust paranoia complex. The movie “300″ describes actual events. The Persian Army of over several hundred thousand men lost to 300 Greek warriors.  Maybe this is why they want to develop a nuclear bomb. They seem to not be able to defeat anyone when the odds are clearly in their favor.

Now I would be embarrassed by such a rout too, but I would not deny history.  It must be in style in Iran to deny history as their President denies the Holocaust. Why should we expect them to believe in battles in the distant past when they cannot get their minds to grasp events within the last hundred years?

Another example why its so hard to deal with these people. Everything is an “American, Zionist, capitalist plot to undermine the Iranian revolutionary regime.” In individuals, we refer to this as a mental disorder. In states with large armies wanting nuclear weapons, we refer to this as highly dangerous.
