They deny the truth because it reveals how much a traitor they're to their own people. I really DON'T care if America and Israel attacked that country. It's better than the way of life the Iranians are living there. It's no different from what Iraq was before 2003. I can also see the West concradicting it's goals [like with Fanco, Po Pot, the Cudan dictator, and the Saudi King] just to win a fake race against the Communist states and any other "threat" to them. So sorry Marjane Satrapi but there WILL be war in Iran....its just a matter of where its coming from. The government of Iran are fools.

It seems to be just another facet of the US drumming up support for military intervention. The propaganda is escalating exponentially. Just look at the way this cartoon is depicted. It reminds me of the old Nazi posters of the Jews with hooked noses, rubbing their slimy hands; sinister eyes. If anyone can't see this, or just the possibility that this could be plausible; then shame on you. You should really learn how to de-construct the media. I'm aware that problems exist in Iran, but i could also list 20 countries in far worse positions regarding human rights. Saudi Arabia is one of the US' greatest allies and yet has one of the most diabolical human rights records on the planet, so please question what is the real motive of this focus on Iran.

How could you grow up in Iran in the 80s without taking sides? In fact, there are films just as critical of Iranian society being made in Iran. This criticism is a purely opportunistic exercise in point-scoring. If the film is at all faithful to the book, it is political — how could it not be?
