The posts in this weblog are mainly about history, heritage, language, art, and culture of Persia (that is named Iran since 1934). Persia is, therefore, equal to Iran, and Persian is equal to Iranian. Note that Persian is a nationality not an ethnicity. Pars (or Fars) is the major ethnicity in Persia but there are also Persian Kurds or Arabs. Similarly, the official language in Persia is Persian (Farsi is the local name and may not be used internationally). For more details please read my posts.

Persian democracy
I have selected this video from YouTube. If you find it interesting, you may also like to read my other post regarding Persian democracy, dated 23 August 2006.
Great story and great book. Yes, most people don't know there used to be a democracy. Ironic isn't it? It's just strange that one country would own all of another country's most valuable resource. Really, now that's happening in America. Much of American real estate is owned by other countries.
