More of the 300 Rorschach Test:
Fred Dalton Thompson, the actor who plays Manhattan D.A. Arthur Branch in Law & Order responds to an Iranian complaint about 300
Mr. Thompson is also a former U.S. Senator, and a possible candidate for the 2008 run for President of the U.S.

Today's contestants, an Iranian government culture official, and some US Marines
Interesting that cultural advisor to Iran's president believes that “American cultural officials” are behind 300. Leave it to a functionary in an authoritarian system to assume all the world's culture gets filtered through government agencies.
Not surprising to find the Marines identifying with the Spartan military in some of the statements on how physical training impacts on survival in combat, and how soldiers should be focused on protecting each other. Unit cohesion and preparation have always been critical for militaries throughout history.
