Talk:Cumrun Vafa

Born in Iran(Persia)
Vafa is stated as being born in 1960. No country by the name of Persia existed in 1960. He could not have been born in Persia. The Behnam 23:44, 10 January 2007 (UTC) He could have been born in Persia if he was born in Ostan-e Fars. Persia is Ostan-e Fars there has never existed a country called Persia. It has always been called Iran by Iranians. American Iranians should stop using their fantasy about countries' names. Babakexorramdin 00:44, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

'Americans must stop using their fantasy about countries names'? Please refrain from angry uncalled-for statements (especially really stupid ones) It might shock the clearly emotional and patriotic chappie who wrote the above, but there is nothing insulting about the name 'Persia', and the English have called the various different political states in history in that region Persia that for ages (long before Columbus was born), mainly because of the (much-admired) ancient Achaemenid empire embedding itself in Western classical memory. There are inaccuracies about it, but none more than there are in calling China 'China' - the Qin dynasty being no longer in power, etc., or Japan 'Japan'. Believe it or not, Westerners don't use the term 'Persia' because of a massive conspiracy to insult Iran. By the way, as an Englishman I notice that the Farsi for 'England' is transliterated 'Ingilis'. There has NEVER existed a country called Ingilis! My patriotically hardwired brain can't allow others to have a different name for my country! How DARE you insult us! [angry ululations] Or maybe having one's own name for another country may be a sign of higher importance with which that country is regarded. (Most people seem to understand this.) Don't be so touchy. Anyway, I have attempted to fix this previously messed up article. If it's still singing Vafa's praises (in bad English) like he's physics' answer to prayer, it's clearly being guarded to be so and someone should get blocked.
