@Jungibaaz @Aeronaut Can we shut this down? These rivalries are tiresome and getting more frequent

What I meant was, if 1953 hadn't happened, who knows what the ME would look like today?

His society is shaped by that event, how can you compare yourself to him?

Color of Paradise (Rang-e Khoda) is really good, beautiful scenery but with a sad story. @hinduguy What is the 2nd movie?

I think they get appointed when they have enough rep - and when there's a need for it

I have not seen any evidence for that. If you have a source backing up your claim, I would like to see it. However, I find it interesting that he named all his sons after characters in Shahnameh. As I mentioned before, I agree with you that language does not imply nationality. But in this case...
