    Iran is not Persia - it is Iran, not Persia

    Seriously, monkspider, it's not Persia - it's IRAN! Iran Iran Iran! Iran!

    Iran!

    Not Persia!

    Iran!

    Iran was Persia
    Now it's Iran, not Persia
    Been a long time go, been Persia
    Now it's Iranian delight on a moonlight night

    Every gal in Persia
    Lives in Iran, not Persia
    So if you've got date in Persia
    At some point her father will come and chop both of your necks off for having his honor sullied... um.

    Even old New York
    Was once New Amsterdam
    Why they changed it, I can't say
    Maybe they just liked it better that way

    So take me back to Persia
    No, you can't go back to Persia
    Been a long time go, been Persia
    Why did the Persia get the works?
    That's no-one's issue but the Farsi... erks?

    Persia (Perr-si-aaa....)

    All clear now?

          You say Iran, monkspider says Persia.
          The end-result is the same.

                    Well done Steffie-poo. The truth of the matter is that Persia is way cooler than Iran. Plus, as a matter of pragmatism, Iran is so similar to Iraq, that it may confuse some of our readers out there. Anyway, in 1935 the Government specified that it should be called Iran; however, in 1949 they allowed both names to be used. So I move that Persia be it's official name here from now on, I think my case is beyond reproach.

                      That's an insult that would cause your death in the Muslim world. But you probably know, right? Or else you would not use it...

                          The hell it is!

                          The underlying issue here is that in Finnish, 'perse' means arse. Thus, 'Persia' sounds suspiciously like an arse country. Iran, on the other hand, Iran conjures up an image of a knife made of smoke, ready to plunge at the black heart of the... dervish! Huh?
