I guess it’s like “African Americans.” They like the distinction. But it really is phony.

Again, it would be like me going around and telling everyone I’m Prussian...because Germany and Poland were once both Prussia.

BTW, when did Persia cease to exist as a country? Anyone know?

Whatever. Next time you decide to attack Poland to reunite the Prussian country, let us know so we can build some bleachers or something this time. Until then, there is no comparing a Northern European nationality conflict with the struggle between Arabs and Persians.

Those folks are busy killing each other over the argument. Not a century or so ago, but right now. And they want to drag us into it.

Dear AdamBomb,

“BTW, when did Persia cease to exist as a country?”

It never did.

The last reigning shah's father just changed the name from Persia to Iran. Persia is Iran and Iran is Persia.

My friends mother is Hessian.

I don't think Persia decided to become Iran.
