So the Iranians are hot about the new "300" film, which shows a few Spartans kicking a lot of Persian you-know-what. Not because the Iranians find it enthralling, but galling. And so they have complained–where else?–to the UN. Potential GOP presidential candidate Fred Thompson shows what we might expect from him in dealing with the mullahs:
"People who want to blow Jews off the face of the earth. The regime that stormed our embassy in 1979 and kept Americans captive for 444 days. Iran’s Hezbollah puppets have killed more Americans, than any other terrorist group except Al Qaeda. Explosive devices from Iran are being used right now against our soldiers in Iraq. They’re clearly more skittish about cultural warfare than the sort that actually kills people – like the one against Israel that Iran financed just a few months ago."
Go get ’em, Fred. Victor Davis Hanson, who teaches the subject, liked it.
