Random Blogger glanced at that painting and <i>decided it must be about the Twin Towers, "Because Iran!"</i>.<br /><br />The only reason I "see" the 9/11 attacks in it at all is that he <i>told me to</i> by proposing the connection.<br /><br />I'm not nearly as convinced as they all seem to be that the painting Is Obviously Of The Twin Towers Because Dude Iranian And Amanpour Hates America. (Which is not literally what they said in the deep-linked comments, but is an adequate distillation nonetheless.)<br /><br />Certainly a glance at Mrs. Lashai's other catalog on the internet does not suggest she's some sort of Mullah-followin' ideologue Bringing Down The Great Satan With Paint or anything.<br /><br />I can't find anything like ideological content, in fact.<br /><br />(Fer instance, there's <a href="http://faridehlashai.com/source/dscf5080.htm" rel="nofollow">This</a>.<br /><br />Why, it's maybe two vertical things with a mess at the top!
