Anyone ever get bothered by "The Indian Ocean", or "English Channel"?
When Korea becomes a leader in the true sense of the word (try making some of your own decisions rather than slavishly following the west and aspiring to be a G-7 type country), it'll get more respect. |
To be fair, the Arabs and Iranian are arguing over the name "Persian Gulf". The Arabs, especially those from the Gulf, call it the "The Arabian Gulf", and the Iranians get offended and say it should be called "The Persian Gulf." As the Gulf countries became wealthier, they asserted that point. I don't think they saw the Gulf as Persian in the past, but I'm not an expert in that regard. |
