All hail the 300!

I’m glad to see that 300 claimed victory at the box office this weekend. And after seeing it Saturday (which I highly recommend, btw), I remain convinced that my initial impression of the film remains correct. This is not only a fantastic, stirring tale of the Battle of Thermopylae, it’s an allegory that fits our current struggle against militant Islamists. Given the fact that the story was written in 1999, Miller obviously wasn’t trying to symbolize President Bush or Muslim jihadists or any current events. But the coincidental parallels are hard to miss.

Fortunately, King Leonidas found a way to work around spineless politicians who wanted Sparta to submit to Persian imperialism. Fortunately, the heavy losses sustained in that battle didn’t dishearten Sparta (or Greece), it served to stiffen their resolve. And resulted in their ultimate triumph over the fascism of Persia.

The United States of America can likewise defeat the forces of totalitarian Islamism if we can ignore the voices of cowardice from the Left and remain steadfastly dedicated to victory over those who seek to subjugate or eradicate us.
