Show the Iran is a player and will do what ever it can get away with. Against the Evil West.
They use the media very well.

I realize that... I guess the people over there don't realize how crappy it makes them look though.

THey are calling for the withdrawl of troops from Iraq (I'll be honest - I'm a little ignorant here, why does Iran give a furry squirrel what happens in Iraq? It's a completely different country) which is what those terrorist groups did right before they behead their detainees.

Barbaric much?

And then they get all pissy that the movie '300' portrays them as a bunch of hooligans.

Hmmmmm

I highly doubt those marines/sailors wrote any of those letters out of their own free will.
