It is unfortunate, and both sides do terrible things. In the end, someone is going to have to win, and someone is going to have to lose (back down or worse).

When was the last time a Persian army beat any western army? Since Alexander of Macedon, the Persians have been getting their butts handed to them on silver platters by tiny western lands. I don't see anything brave about Muslim warriors getting their butts carved up, but to each his or her own.

No need. They're Irish there. Always have been. I'd become Irish and blend in.

Except during the time of the Medes, Iran was part of Babylon not vice versa.

Once Alexander came into the picture Iran was an also ran. And the Greek isles gave the mighty Persian empire fits.

What would have happened had a real giant been around? The Khans sure kicked your proverbial butts.
