As for should it be the Persian Gulf blog, well…personally, I thought that thegulfblog.com had more of a ring to it; thepersiangulfblog.com being a bit wordy. More generally, I’ll diplomatically draw this prickly little question to a close by saying that most scholars, historians, political scientists and international lawyers are all perfectly aware of the true name of the body of water separating the Arab and Persian peoples. It is not, to my mind, that much of a debate.
If you find any interesting bits or pieces on Iran & Qatar, do shove them my way if you get the chance.
Like your blog, have some in-depth analysis. Keep up the great work.
But shouldn’t your blog be called the Persian Gulf blog?

Thanks for your kind words.
