The same way the Soviet Union was "destroyed". It was destroyed from within by the people not by military action from an outside invader.
Farsi is a flowery impressionist language and the words are not always taken literally. Often many words are strung together to emphasize an important, but simple concept. English translations of Farsi often fail to account for the symbolism of the language.
And in some instances the errors in translating Farsi are accidental. |
So that whole "death to America" thing doesn't really mean anything?
