Dictatorship Shot of the Day

By Brian C. Ledbetter · Wednesday, September 27. 2006 09:53
Didn't post a "Dictator" yesterday, though I did post a "Kitty-tator." Close enough, right? Now, we continue our quest to illustrate true dictatorship to the masses with this photograph from Iran, which is a billboard of supreme mullah Ayatollah Ali Khamenei in the background of a truck carrying a missile. This shot is not quite as iconic as the Soviet missile parades back in the 1950's, but it still illustrates my point nicely. There is plenty of freedom in Iran, so long as you toe the party line.

In front of a picture of supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, a missile of Iranian armed forces is displayed during a parade ceremony, marking the 26th anniversary of the outset of the Iran-Iraq war (1980-1988), in front of the mausoleum of the late revolutionary founder Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, just outside Tehran, Iran, Friday, Sept. 22, 2006.

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:
The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.
