I saw the last 10 minutes of it. Seemed like the same-old history channel making a huge deal out of how Iran is horrible because they're GATHERING
STRATEGIC INFORMATION (Oh no! Because obviously, preparing for a potential attack against you MUST be evil!) and funding Hezbollah (as if Hezbollah
isn't supported by like everyone over there).
They went so far as to make a huge deal out of Arabs buying ciggarettes in one state and selling them for more, and sending money back to the middle
east (Oh my god! Smuggling? As if that wasn't what the United states was built on...We can complain all we want, but it doesn't change the fact that
the only reason they're doing this is because of huge flaws in our economic system that actually encourage it).
As we all know so well, just because it's ok for America to run around killing people and developing advanced weaponry for offensive purposes, it's
not ok for a relatively neutral country to do so on a defensive basis. Thank god the history channel isn't biased.
Oh, and of course, it still treats the President of Iran as some dictatorship position of doom. I guess it still hasn't solidified in most American
heads that the Supreme Leader, not the President, is the only Iranian with the power to declare war and command the armed forces, and that we only
hear the president as much as we do because it has more ambassadorish aspects than the Supreme Leader position does.
