Most of this is not even "for" us. It is for what has been called "The Arab Street".
Show people in that part of the world that the big guys can be played with and brought to a stop.
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.

I feel that all of this is a pretext to the next war. I'm not buying any of it.

There's also a former FBI agent missing in Iran. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory?id=3001577

"They" get pissy because the movie 300 is an awful movie that portrays them as a bunch of black people with piercings that took part in imaginary acts. That would be like me getting Pauly Shore to act in a movie about some cholo Mexicans that attacked France and had all sorts of weird body art. I'm sure you, as a Mexican, wouldn't like that. Oh and history lesson, the US constitution and bill of rights were based on lessons from a Persian King named Cyrus. The same document was used as the first human rights document and a copy is kept in the United Nations. Not some Ricky Martin song or any other taco stained Mexican document. Barbaric...I know, but enjoy the rights that you now have as an American thanks to Persians.

Oh and you know what else? The British are a bunch of pussies that did nothing but surrender, no other boats came to their aid, and in Iranian jails they just made lovely pussy videos. Clearly dropping bombs on Q'om would have eliminated the country's religious problem but instead they came out looking like the French.
