Pronunciation police: Iraq is not pronounced "eye-RACK."

[racaulk]

It's "ih-ROCK."

And Iraqi is not pronounced "eye-RACK-ee," it's pronounced "ih-ROCK-ee."

And Iran is not pronounced "eye-RAN," it's pronounced "ih-RAHN."

And Iranian is not prounced "eye-RAIN-e-yun," it's pronounced "ih-RAHN-e-un."

Go back and listen (if you can) to Lieberman's drivel about Iran on Sunday's "Face The Nation," and you will hear it for yourself countless times. Would someone please explain this to Lieberman, *, Cheney, and (insert name of any other neocon mouthpiece disgracing our airwaves here) before I scream!!! Any time I hear any of the above, it just makes my skin crawl!

Anyone else? Am I totally wrong?
