76 trombones for the big [hate] parade...

Did you all know that, every year on this date, the Iranian government stages a parade?
A parade, that is, which features Iranian children, but which is staged to, ahem, commemorate...the taking of 52 innocent American diplomats as hostages. It was an illegal act, against all norms of international law. They were held for 444 days. It made Iran an international pariah.

And they have their children celebrate it.
Charming.
