What is it about George C. Scott's classic portrayal of Gen. George S. Patton that calls to mind the hit movie, "300"? Both described earlier times and worlds in which weasels were scorned, not celebrated. In both films, the heroes called forth the best in the best men who willingly died for freedom — that precious quality that separates men from animals, capitalists from socialists, real Americans from the "metrosexuals". [Even after looking up the term in Wikipedia we are still confused. No doubt, Gen. Patton could have put it more concisely.] At any rate, as the situation in Iran continues to heat up, Muslims and Americans and Europeans and Southeast Asians and Northern Africans had best come to terms with the fact that the ultimate enemies in our midst do not respond well to mercy and are only incited to greater violence by weakness. But against the truth as told by the fearless, they have no defense. And confronted by a world standing united against them, they will simply vanish.
