#5  The description of the offense seems mighty tame after four decades of "Great Satan" and other slanders. The Producers should mock whomever made the claims. We are not mocking Iran or the great Iranian people but specifically the Ayotallahs who have ruined the country.

#6  yeah, and the "300" suffered from irritating Iran as well, just not at the box office or any other measurable criteria. LOL, Mullahs, bite us!

Iran cleric says Obama adopting old US tactics
A top Iranian cleric on Friday slammed U.S. president-elect Barack Obama's criticism of Hezbollah and defended the Islamic republic's support of the Lebanese Shiite group. "We are announcing it frankly, that we will defend the Lebanese Hezbollah resistance and its brave leader Hassan Nasrallah with pride," the conservative cleric Ahmed Khatami told worshippers in Friday prayers broadcast on state radio.

"They are not terrorists since they are defending their honor and independence," he said. "If Obama wants to decrease hatred, he has to stop making worthless comments. Most probably the Zionists have put down a banana skin for him," Khatami said.

Shiite majority Iran owns is a staunch supporter of Hezbollah and maintains that it provides them with moral support and not arms as alleged by two of its arch-foes, Washington and Israel.
The Gun Fairy visits them every night from his workshop at the East Pole.
After the summer 2006 war between Israel and Hezbollah, Iran sent money and technical expertise for reconstruction and to compensate victims. Israel says the Shiite group is now three times stronger than during the war.
