This is a brilliant piece of propagandizing by omission from an AP article, "
Iranian President Derides U.S. Threats" in today's
New York Times:
"The Middle East isn't a region to be dominated by Iran. The Gulf isn't a body of water to be controlled by Iran. That's why we've seen the United States station two carrier battle groups in the region," [undersecretary of state for political affairs Nicholas] Burns said Tuesday in an address to influential think-tank Gulf Research Center, based in the United Arab Emirates.
If you'll notice, the proper name of the
Persian Gulf - with the operative adjective being "Persian" - is shortened here to just "the Gulf." America, my beautiful country on the opposite side of the globe with the Atlantic Ocean on its right side and the Pacific on its left, America telling the Persians that they should not have a say over the Persian Gulf . . . well, it chafes a bit, is all.
