Is this for real? Take a look at this story from Iran involving the President
http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/02/04/iran.rocket/index.html

Just read this on CNN.

Then take a look at the picture that accompanied the story



How are you going to talk about Iran's space center and technological achievements, and show their President wearing goofy 3d-glasses. If they're just INVENTING 3d-technology over there, they are FAR behind.

2. Don´t be fooled, boricua79
the picture is from CNN, and they are trying to make you think that Iran is a backwards country who needs US military activity.

Iran is way ahead.

7. I'm sure that's the intent on the part of the West...but...
why the hell was the President of Iran caught with 3d-glasses on? What was he...visiting Epcot Center and watching Captain Eo, or whatever that movie was?

10. Comparing the urls
It looks like both images were filed with the article:

Article url:   
http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/meast/02/04/iran.rocket/index.html
3D glasses:
http://i.l.cnn.net/cnn/2008/WORLD/meast/02/04/iran.rocket/art.ahmadinejad.afp.gi.jpg
No glasses:
