Perhaps we should set up concentration camps in all the countries so they could produce marginally good films?You need to leave your ivory tower. Iran is a despicable society where people have no rights, women get stoned and great portion of the population supports acts of terrorism against the civilians, where murder of children gets celebrated in the streets.
I can't understand how one can sit in his comfortable home, put on a DVD and make pseudo-intellectual comments, while knowing what goes on behind those borders. Perhaps he should simply believe what's happening is good for the unwashed locals.
Was a Nazi Germany another "positive" example? Cambodia must be closely behind. And of course the USSR has always been a shining example of positive, with people not knowing what's good for them. The "Reds" never seem to die, they just get jobs at Berkeley.
Such "intellectual" musings really make me extremely sad. It is bad enough that some in this country claimed the soviets and the Nazi were just like "us", it seems some people have never learned, and today call for humanization of one of the most oppressive and disgusting regimes.
I begin to wonder what exactly makes these "intellectuals" be like the mullahs. They are most certainly not like us.
