I think that the Offspring sent a very powerful message by making this song, which is simply a remake of Baghdad. By going to the trouble of completely rerecording it, just to change the words "Baghdad" and "Iraq" to "Tehran" and "Iran" respectively, shows that the conflicts are exactly the same thing, just like the song is exactly the same thing. I love the way they did this. Just goes to show, history repeats itself and nobody ever seems to learn.
