The Arabian Gulf?


A witty response to an ongoing controversy (free registration required) about the National Geographic's Atlas. It's editors decided to list "Arabian Gulf" in parentheses as an alternative name for the Persian Gulf. Not everyone is thrilled with the decision, especially not Iranians of Persian descent. To see a well-planned response, Google "Arabian Gulf", and then click on the first entry, Arabian-Gulf.info.
Also, check out the reviews of the Atlas at Amazon.com.
(Thanks to John C. for the pointer)
