Big Mistake Made By The Media, Practically On A Daily Basis...
All of them are guilty of saying "the Arabs" or "the Arab world" when referring to all of the peoples of the Middle East. Call an Iranian an "Arab" and see how he/she reacts. They really should work on getting this right. They are embarrassing themselves, and pissing people off at the same time.


My .02 for today.

1. True. Iranians are the real "Aryans". Both Arabs and Aryans are....
Caucasion, but are from different branches. They are not the same thing. Good point! :)

2. They don't care. Face it, Americans are the only ones reading
the American news because the rest of the world know our news meida is nothing but propoganada. So they are just reinforcing the governments stand that anyone from the Middle East is an arab and all arabs are behind 9-11.
