New moderate Iran: Former U.S. Embassy now anti-American museum

Jan 30, 2014 9:50 pm By Robert Spencer

What? The American government was behind 9/11? Not the Zionists? This new Iranian regime really is moderate!

“CNN: Former U.S. Embassy in Tehran Now an Anti-American Museum,” from the Washington Free Beacon, January 30:

The former U.S. embassy in Tehran is now an anti-American museum, CNN’s Jim Sciutto reports.

The “museum” continues to promote tired Iranian propaganda that the U.S. was using the diplomatic facility for espionage. Sciutto also noted there is a mural dedicated to selling the idea that the American government was behind 9/11.

However, according to Sciutto, enthusiasm among average citizens for the 1979 Iranian revolution may be waning. “This place is not the magnet for average Iranians as it used to be,” Sciutto said.

    Interesting what becomes a museum… As I read the article, I was reminded of the USS Pueblo, now an anti-American museum in North Korea.

    New Moderate Iran: Former U.S. Embassy now anti-American museum

    …………………………..

    And isn’t everybody glad that we’re now in “dialogue” with the Mullahs?

    …………………………..

    The idea that it ever was a “magnet for average Iranians” is pretty disgusting. Their taking American embassy staff hostage is what first made Iran an international pariah.

    Everything they’ve done since has just added to it. That’s why our suddenly deciding to play footsie with them is so appalling—they are just as bad as ever, and now poised to gain nuclear weapons. Suicidal madness.

    Iran is so dark and backward. insecure children from top to bottom.

    really, unless youre a child, you should be embarrassed at having this in your street, or community or city etc.

    enthusiasm waning for the 1979 uprising? i’m surprised the thugs have held on this long. sanctions, very limited rights. no real protection under law. and the defections and brain drain that this wounded old horse regime causes.

    they (the regime of 35odd years) have no dignity. no decorum. no confidence. the men in charge are terribly insecure. threats of strikes against Israel and the U S. reinforce that.. they are designed to somehow boost moral among the people of Iran. like this weak attempt with the museum.

    childish. and its the same pattern for nations, cities, towns, regions or suburbs, households…

    replicating itself from highest to lowest level…..
    its the only model they have for order. its the only model they have.

    so even international dialogue seems to be more appropriate in a miserable household. but everyone has disobeyed lately, so the fat, lazy, insecure wife beater in charge is very angry. at everything. all at once. this is the mental level of people and country who will have the bomb soon.
    that’s the scariest part.

    i believe the above reaction is called a tantrum. tantrum and a bomb.

    Robert. do you have a book on the Psychology of Islam ?
    are we dealing with millions of borderline personality disorders?
    what are the drivers and mental capacity of suicide bombers? mentality of blind faith and violence. what are all of these conditions/ disorders called? how would it be treated if you or i behaved the same way? can we diagnose this hell hole, iran, as a person with horrible psychological issues?

    such a book would sell.

    In other words, they are boasting to the world that MUSLIMS ARE ABOVE INTERNATIONAL LAWS. It is by international agreement that embassy staff have diplomatic immunity. Immunity is reciprocal. But not for Muslims who have devious rules set by Allah…breaking contracts is ‘clever’. Breaking contracts is the ideal example of the founder of this Death Cult who was both a desert pirate and a pedophile…both well-known to be first rate liars.

    By leaving this triumphalist museum in place, they are boasting their lack of ethics and confirming they are still international pariahs.

    Anyone who trusts a word from the mullahocracy should get their head checked.

    So can I assume we have the exact GPS coordinates for our embassy – as would be needed for a cruise missile?
