Argo's message is a clarion call to solve difficult problems without going to war. Like my father used to say when I was a kid: "USE YOUR BRAINS!" That's exactly what the main hero of Argo does! He uses his brains to solve a very complex problem in the real world!
I can only imagine what would happen had Iran invaded our embassy in 2012 instead of 1979 and held 50 Americans hostage for 444 days! We would be at war and all the hostage would be dead by now. But Jimmy Carter practiced what he preached - and as a consequence - untold thousands of lives were saved by not going to war with Iran even though it cost him his re-election!
For those who are ignorant about geography, Iran is larger than the state of Alaska! In other words, about as large as the United Kingdom, France, Spain, and Germany COMBINED! Tehran,the capitol has population the same as New York City, which is about 8 million! The entire country is 75 million, which is about twice the population of California. According to the Composite Index of National Capability, Iran has the 15th most powerful military in the world! So all you warmongers salivating at going to war with Iran keep in mind we will be fighting the equivalent of two California's simultaneously - with one of the most powerful militaries on earth! I hope you're planing to send your sons, daughters and get a second mortgage on your house to fight a war of this magnitude!
All I can say is to everyone involved with Argo from President Jimmy Carter to Ben Affleck is THANK YOU! Argo is a shining example of the power of cooperation and creativity over force and stupidity!
