A crowd of Islamic religious fanatics slaughtered a Russian diplomat in 1829

It's the same old song. I was watching the gorgeous movie, the Russian Ark, last night and there is a scene in the movie where Persian emmisaries come to court to ask forgiveness for the killing of a Russian diplomat at the Russian embassy in Persia in 1829. I looked up the incident and was amazed to see how it exactly parallels what is happening in modern times. The murdered diplomat, Alexandr Sergeyevich Griboyedov was also a playright. He was sent to the embassy in Teheran and was killed shortly after his arrival, along with almost everyone inside the embassy. His body was horribly mutilated, during the occupation of the embassy by the Islamic lunatics. Looks like the Muslims are nothing if not predictable. Nothing has changed in over a hundred and sixty years. See, diplomacy is useless. They kill diplomats, don't they?
