How flattering that Iran thinks Americans have the savviness to recognize the movie "300" as a cultural insult to Iranians. They have accused this film of being an instrument for intentional cultural warfare. Here's the news flash. Overall, we are as sagacious as our President, and we did elect him to serve a second term. That alone should be seen as a red flag. We were the last to discover the weighty significance of the painfully obvious Shia, Sunni and Kurd divisions abruptly brought to our attention by the current civil war, which seems to not have been penciled in on the "things that could happen after we invade" short list.
If we overlooked the civil war possibility do you really think America had the forethought to create a movie to denigrate your history and culture? Please, we aren't that deep. This movie was made without you in mind and you know why? You're brown, you don't speak english and you live waaay over there somewhere, translation: you don't exist and if you did you wouldn't count. Well that's not totally true Iranians developing nuclear capabilities has changed our tune a little. But still. America has a formidable track record with brown skin people but believe me "300" has nothing to do with you. A culturally inaccurate and insensitive film, probably, I haven't seen it yet so I don't know for sure. An intentional attack? We're not that sophisticated but thanks for the compliment.
