Well - Im glad someone can find info that the western world has called Iran Persia although the real Persian Empire included Iraq and many other "states" as well as Iran.
Heres a second thing to learn today - will give you some real perspective into todays current events:
Iraq was a democracy - seems strange to hear that? Well - up until the United States helped some military generals take over Iraq 30 years ago(including installing Saddam into power with Dick Cheneys help) - Iraq had a democratic political leadership - we just took it away from them so that we could have a good pawn to fight against Iran(since they were backed by Russia at the time)
Funny how 30 years later - we are "trying" to install a democracy - guess the US leadership feels bad that they took it away???
