I read an interesting article in the paper the other day. Apparently Iran thinks the movie 300 is about dissing the Iranians and part of a well orchestrated campaign to demonize Iranians. What I find amazingly humorous is that no where in the movie does it talk about Iran. The movie is about the Persians, of which Iranians would call themselves descendants, but it's a safe bet that less than 5%, maybe even as little as 1% of the US population knows that. Making a stink of it is only making part of their claim true. Yet like all conspiracy theories, there is probably always a thread of truth somewhere. Was 300 created to dis Iran? Hardly. Is there some propaganda plot to demonize the Iranians? Even less likely. Yet what is funny about all this is that if Iran were at all concerned about their image, why do they act the way they do?
