Persepolis, the movie

Click on the film poster to go to Marjane Satrapi's MySpace page and see the trailers for the animated version of her great comic book Persepolis (which you should read if you haven't yet.)

I think that as Arabs we have a duty to boycot everything Iranian, untill they stop their terror and crimes and Iraq! and the Arab world the source of their unorginal persian culture and that is the least we could do in case we are not preparing for an all ou war to end th Iranian occupation of Iraq. It would be funny to mention that Persepolis(not the film) is built on Iraqi babaylonian style.
Those Iranians! Arabs educate them, and they remain full of ingratitude

Did you know that Persepolis has been translated into Arabic, in a very nice edition brought out in Beirut ?
