With all of the chaos over in Iran, government stupidity always manages to shine through.  The government has “asked” members of the soccer team to resign for wearing green wristbands, showing support for the protesters.  Since they effectively fired a good portion of their soccer team without consideration for how it would affect the team’s performance and as a byproduct, national glory, we can conclude that Iran is run by losers.  That’s right.  They decide to put symbolism ahead of building a winning team.  It’s a Dilbert cartoon with turbans which means Elbonia is a good analogy here.  If they can’t build a winning soccer team, then how can they expect to build a winning economy or military?

They also said that they plan to clear the country of hooligans.  Which is pretty easy to do when you don’t have a serviceable soccer team anymore.  I had no idea there were that many British soccer fans in Iran, but if the Supreme Leader doesn’t like them trashing his stadium then he’s well within his right to make a losing soccer team so the Brits don’t destroy the place after they lose the match.

Poor planning is one many reasons Iran will fail and Asians will end up ruling that part of the world.  We understand the value of building a winning team at all levels.  We also understand that winning at all levels is important.  But Iran has yet to produce a Supreme Leader that rivals the skills of Mao Zedong or Ho Chi Minh.  Not that the current Supreme Leader has any math skills to speak of since he only realized this week that more than 100% voter turn out is not normal.
