Such a requirement serves at least two purposes:

1.) It ensures that aberrant behavior stemming from religious convictions is readily identified so as not to be penalized by a tolerant regime.

2.) It enables rapid identification of potential hostages and human shields should the shit hit the fan and doomsday arrive at their borders.

It's a win - win situation for them. Unconventional warfare 101.

It appears now that the original story is false. Experts say report of badges for Jews in Iran is untrue

Thanks for the update. I'll be interested to see the emerging details of what this story was actually based on...it still appears to not have been "made up from whole cloth" :-)

I suspect the original story will have more legs than the retraction, which could easily have been the idea...

The idea behind what?

To get a "Iran==Nazi" vibe going.

Well there's plenty to hate about the Iran govt without having to make any of it up.

Happy Monkey · 05-20-2006, 09:23 PM

Well, yeah, but - - NAZIS!

I'm with HM on this one, I mean after all the whole "new pearl harbor" thing worked like a charm, so why not trot out another WWII enemy and resurrect it?

Ibby · 05-20-2006, 10:06 PM

And everyone knows that Nazis are the triple-dog-dare of bad comparisons...

footfootfoot · 05-21-2006, 07:17 AM

really, actually laughing aloud

Undertoad · 05-21-2006, 08:19 AM

Anyway you guys, the story started in Canadian media so it's really those nasty warfaring Canucks pushing the comparison.

And one reason it was repeated so quickly is because it easily passed the sniff test. Pres. Ahmadinejad has put holocaust denial into speeches recently.

I don't think Canada has a nationalized media. Nutters can own papers up there, too.
