Iranian Swimmer Not Punished for Failing to Swim Against Israeli

Are the Iranians supposed to be proud of this behavior? It is childish in the extreme. It shows not only a complete lack of nobility but also a complete lack of reason. In a sense it is a perfect representation of the whole couuntry. It is characteristic of the whole of Iran's government where reason is supplanted by emotion and hysterics. Such a man would not make a good soldier, an army of men like him would melt like butter in the sun. They must know this and this must be the reason they are desperately trying to attain nuclear weapons.
