ABC should have had a better host. WTF does "Different Arab cultures mean"? Ms. Reaei stressed the word Persian more than she should have and NOT once was the word "arabic" or "arab" used which would be of clue to anyone even if you haven't read a history book that Persians are a race separate from Arabs/Jews. Still it's funny and sad at the same time when someone says "different Arab cultures".

There will be another soon. Hopefully in time for Norooz 2007.
