Iran's Getting Into the Theme Park Business

Look out Disney - you're going to have some competition from Great Satan Park:

The former US embassy in Tehran could soon see a new chapter in its troubled history, with a top Iranian commander calling for the downtown compound to be turned into a "Great Satan Park".

"We would be able to nicely show off the American crimes to citizens strolling in the park," General Mir-Faisal Bagherzadeh told the official news agency IRNA.

"The former American Den of Spies should become the park of Great Satan," said the general, who heads the Sacred Defence Foundation - an influential propaganda body set up to commemorate the 1980-88 Iran-Iraq war.

Following Iran's Islamic revolution in 1979 that toppled the US-backed shah, the former US embassy was seized by Islamist students and 52 of its staff were taken hostages for 444 days.

Disneyland has a big bronze scupture of Walt Disney in the center of the park. I'm hoping that Great Satan Park will have a bigger bronze sculpture of Jimmy Carter. After all, he made this all possible.
