      Great heart-warming piece by Charlie... Got to hate politics for what it is doing to humanity.

      Correction on the discussion below: The Language is actually "Parsi." After the Arab invasion 1500 years ago, they converted "Parsi" to "Farsi," since they lack the letter "P" in their alphabet. "Pars" was the ruling ethnic group at the time. "Parsian" in ethnic language means "Pars People." And as I indicated earlier, the language was "Parsi." Since Iran was labeled as "Perse" on the old maps, the word "Persian" was derived and used by some outsiders...

      A very heart warming interview about the personal American-Persian relations.

      Aryana, the official language of Iran is Farsi, and not Persian. In fact the analogy you made would work had we thought of Persian as the official language.

      I have read Mr. Wardâ??s book - Searching for Hassan. It is a wonderful story.

      Only one thing, if Mr. Ward is reading this comment or for anyone else: The official language of Iran in English is Persian and not â??Farsiâ??. It is wrong to use Farsi, as it is wrong to say in English that people in Germany speak Deutsch.
