The Mullahs Have Preconditions for Hollywood?

If you don't think Iran has certain "expectations" of talks with America over their terrorism and nuclear weapons ambtions that some might call preconditions, ponder how the Iranians treat the sympathetic Hollywood crowd:

An adviser to Iran's president on Sunday demanded an apology from a team of visiting Hollywood actors and movie industry officials, including Annette Bening, saying films such as "300" and "The Wrestler" were "insulting" to Iranians.

Without an apology, members of Iran's film industry should refuse to meet with representatives from the nine-member team, said Javad Shamaqdari, the art and cinema adviser to President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.


I'm sorry, but the Iranian mullahs are a bunch of pansies. This is absurd. They really need to man up a bit more.

I hope the Iranians aren't holding their breath. If Hollywood wasn't willing to apologize for "Ishtar," they're not about to grant this demand.
