Iran was once Persia?!?!?!

wow now I feel ignorant, they should have stuck with the name Persia, it is much better than the name Iran, and Persians sounds better then Iranians.

Oh and the ceilings were cool too, I need to take my psychedelics to Iran.....

It's a shame that the western media portrays our "enemies" as uncultured and uncivilized. What a farce to believe such a thing!

My mother-in-law was in Iran last year before we got married and she took the most breath-taking photos. Granted she had to wear head covering, at the very least, to enter the mosques and other buildings, but it was so well worth it...
