Pizza is now an "elastic loaf" in Iran. Some call it World War III, some call it a re-birth of The Crusades, some call it a clash of civilizations. But when you're so damn afraid that everything you've built your culture on is losing the battle then what do you do? You retreat behind silly language and cultural games. The latest? Iran's president now wants to ban the use of foreign words and has declared that government and official agencies need to use modified Persian words. When a "chat" becomes "small talk" you know we are dealing with small minds.
Of course he's not the only one. Can you say English as an offical language?
