Cervantes’ masterpiece, Don Quixote, was written about 400 years ago and is the story of a man who is delusional. He sees himself as a knight. He even sees mountains and trees as enemies, and he is an imaginary hero who believes himself to be invincible. This story is strikingly similar to the behavior and approach of Ali Khamenei, the leader of the Islamic Republic of Iran, these days. Despite his and his proxies’ repeated defeats in the Middle East, he still insists on the illusion of victory.
