RE: Contention in Middle Eastern culture

Comment comment by Anonymous on 24 August 2007

It's all about saving face over there and not letting people tarnish your honor. Mr. Mojarrad probably takes the withdrawal as personal failures and is lashing out at Germany because he's sees his bank failing and Iran failing in the process. My observation has been this causes Middle EAsterns to use threats to try and get their way when negotiations would be a lot more effective. Iran seems to have a way of acting juvenille. Look at this whole situation like this and set it on a t-ball field:

International Community: Hey man, you can't play with an aluminum bat.

Iran: I can if I want.

International Community: No, you agreed not to. Come on, seriously.

Iran: I can. You can't make me. You're not the boss of me.

International Community: Ok. Then we're going home and taking our stuff with us.

Iran: Fine! See if I care! One day I'm gonna be a super-great t-ball player. Then when you wanna play, I won't let you. Screw you guys! There's kids down the street that'll play with me.
