It was only called Persia by "Western" countries (who took up the tradition after Greece). Reza Shah properly asked for the rest of the world to call Iran by it's own name. Yes Iran did try to gain Germany's favor but that was after Russia and Iran had spent years usurping Iran's central government. Iran has been called Iran for as long as there have been Iranians.

You happen to be a typical redneck with the idea you own the whole planet and everything on it. But your right Tom, the people who sit behind the middle east problems are the Brits, French and anyone else who is not you hey. Because America is perfect and all those in it are just innocent bystanders who do not know what their own goverment does to others. Your full of it and I ask you to go and live where your country has had a hand in it and live thier lives for a week, you wouldn't make it coward. You are a gutless poeple under all your bravado...

Iran aligned themselves with the Nazi's so they became Britain and Russia's b*tch. You reap what you sow. Honestly though, if anybody needs to apologize here it's the British and French for colonization of the Middle East in the first place, leading up to the mess that we have today.

Iran aligned themselves with the Nazi’s so they became Britain and Russia’s b*tch. You reap what you sow.

Honestly though, if anybody needs to apologize here it’s the British and French for colonization of the Middle East in the first place, leading up to the mess that we have today.

Isn't it up to those who organized the coup whether they will apologize? For the rest of us, is it not enough to recognize that the coup was wrong?

WEST used to call it Persia (Where Parsi live), then they broke the habit. Second, America must apologize for the coup, but this apology goes to the Iranian people not this tyranic government. Third, Iran must apologize for the hostage crisis in 1979. But, to tell the truth, Islamic republic will never negotiate with America, and it's complicated to explain why. To Tom #1,

Yes, absolutely we should apologize. It's the right thing to do. Whether or not you like Iran is irrelevent. If you do something wrong you apologize. That's common sense. It's not as if apologizing would do us any harm. We're long past due climbing off our high horses anyway. I would wager a pretty penney that 99% of American citizens haven't the slightest inkling about the Coup of 1953. The uninformed American populace is an all too embarrasing reality. Our heads are filled to the brim with delusions of grandeur while we prance around believing we're #1 no matter what we do in the world. Hey, America! Let's put away the Made In China American flags for a second and have a sobering moment of self reflection. Thanks for this piece, Jack. Yes, absolutely we should apologize.
