My friend has a strange claim about 300

[DuFresne]

Alright, so I was talking to my friend David, and he was telling me this little movie he saw called 300. Perhaps you've heard of it. So anyways, he claims that this film may be more than a cool pseudo-historical action movie based on a Frank Miller comic. It may actually, at least in some small way, be propaganda in support of the war in the Middle East. Being the mildly resonably guy he is, he is not sure if this claim has any merit. Having not yet seen the movie, the best I could do for him was to turn to you geeks. So what do ya think?
