1. Gulf or Persian Gulf
Mona ,   Tehran/Iran   (08.01.09)
The tiny Gulf island emirate of Qatar also reported is first swine.... For God's sake! It is not a Gulf island. It is, definitely, a Persian Gulf island.
2. Highest will be israel due to High internation mobility
Tayfun_Turkey   (08.01.09)
Countries willl suffer according to their high international mobility and due to some "traditions" -sending youth with backpacks to latin america and elsewhere- and patterns of business Israel will be highest hit country. Possibly next may be Dubai most hit then some suide cities. But not all regions in Arab countries.
3. Semantics
Nour ,   Palestine   (08.01.09)
Lady, we call it ARABIAN GULF, you call it PERSIAN GULF. For GOD's sake when will you people in Iran quit moaning and nagging about this issue? When will you accord the Arabs of Ahwaz their political rights? We call it the Arabian Gulf or simply the Gulf and it happens that many other nations including non-arab ones refer to it as the Arabian Gulf. What are you going to do, sue the Arab League and publishers/websites around the world? Start by fixing your problems first, and while you're at it stop interfering in Palestinian and Lebanese affairs. Our cause is ours first.
