Perceptionless

Roger Ebert reviews Persepolis, one of my top ten from 2007. In the first paragaph: "Whenever I read another story about the clerical rule that now grips Iran, I think of those people, and millions of other Iranians like them, who do not agree with the rigid restrictions they live under, particularly the women. Iranians are no more monolithic than we are, a truth not grasped by our own zealous leader."

There's nothing like the ignorance of people who claim George Bush is ignorant. The Bush administration has, of course, regularly and openly stated the Iranian people are not the same thing as their theocratic government. In fact, it's rather central to how we approach Iran.
