For "Iran," substitute Emmanuel Goldstein:

"And yet the rage that one felt was an abstract, undirected emotion which could be switched from one object to another like a blowlamp. ... Goldstein, in spite of his isolation, his helplessness, and that doubt that hung about his very existence, seemed like some sinister enchanter, capable by the mere power of his voice of wrecking the structure of civilization." -- George Orwell, 1984

Thanks for recalling that one, Michael.

It's another terrifically beautiful, terrible irony-non-irony of the age how the American school system continues to encourage/mandate the reading of 1984 even as the book would be, to healthy people, a thorough critique of many of the techniques still used to perfect effect on the populace.
