I think the author makes a good point and it is also a point most freepers normally agree with. Hollywood is in the history rewriting business. I don't think many freepers will agree with him in this case though because he is talking positively about Persia (Iran). They are on our sh!t list at the moment and therefore nothing positive can be said about them. Which, ironically, is also a form of rewriting history to suit current needs which puts us in the same business as Hollywood.

The author needs to get with the program. The West has always been at war with Persia. The UK has always been our friend. France has always been a nation full of cheese eating surrender monkeys.

If the author wanted Westerners to agree with him, he should've written his stupid article pre- 1979 when Iran (Persia) was still our friend. Then he may have gotten a bit more support.

Your post was great! One of the best I have seen on FR in years.

"The West has always been at war with Persia. "\

Back then, it is well documented that in the years following Thermopolae, the Delian League fought with a tool of the Persian Empire that would one day lead to it's involvement in the world being immoratlized by the Marine Corps Hymn.
