I don't get it. Looking around I found this article.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/6446183.stm I mean, I know that it is just people making noise over whatever they can in the Great PR War. I mean, I think of Iraq, Saudi Arabia, and Baghdad when I think of Persia, though I don't know how right that is. Also, do we even have cultural officials? *sigh* Well, I sure these statements weren't intended for me. Though if they are saying that we are saying the Persian Empire is Iran, then I guess that would mean that we are saying that their leader is gay.
