i was told the reason for calling themselves persians by every single one i met, not by a canadian, not an american, not a politician, not the wikipedia, not the fucking television. i have no reason to believe you over them. NONE. they were all very wonderful people and respected me and my views as they reflected theirs in conversation.

you gfyers just look for reasons to try and *correct* other's view & align them to your's.

and if you think i am going to think any person yapping in this thread is an authority on the middle east, you are truly drinking your own kool-aid.
