I like the Iranians. Years ago, for the sole purpose of pissing off the Brits, they renamed Churchill Ave., where the British embassy in Tehran was located, to Bobby Sands St. in memory of an IRA hunger striker. This meant all post to the British embassy had to be addressed to Bobby Sands St. It annoyed the Brits so much they had to move the entrance to their embassy to a different street. For that act of diplomatic trolling alone, I quite like Iran.
