This is pretty funny....


This is what you get if you Google "Arabian Gulf"...

On Monday Iran threatened Al-Jazeera television with action for an online animated cartoon showing an Iranian cleric ignoring regional problems in favour of taking action over what to call the Gulf.

...they've even gone so far as to uninvite National Geographic's Susan Welchman from their "Art and Prayer Festival", saying also that National Geographic sales are BANNED in Iran until the reference in the latest issue of National Geographic's atlas, which refers to the stretch of water between them and the Arabian peninsula as "The Persian Gulf (Arabian Gulf)", is corrected.

and France wants to sell these guys nuclear materials...??
