exactly right. Do you pounce on people who have an accent like say from the northeast who pronounce things funny or Canadians? The man referred to the right person, I saw the segment.

Khomeini is pronounced with a hard K at the beginning. Khamenei is pronounced with an H at the beginning. One is "Ko" the other "Ha." Flynn said Khomeini, not Khamenei.

Here is the pronunciation of both:

The current leader's name sounds almost like "harmony."

The Iranians had nothing to do with this. The Iranians are our "allies" in the fight against ISIS.

Different names, pronounced differently. Like the difference between "Colorado" and "Halorado." Don't really sound the same at all.

Oh give it up already. This is nonsense. He referred to the right guy, now you're going to complain that someone didn't use the right Islamic pronunciation? Do you rant about Canadians saying "hoose" instead of "house", how about people who say "ruf" instead of "roof" "Tomato" with long A or short A? How about "Ghadaffi" and "Kadaffi"? We can go on forever if you'd like.

They are state sponsors of radicalism, the point is to have those nations denounce this stuff for a change. Same with SA.

He referred to the dead guy, not the living one. So sorry, but names actually matter.

Iran condemned it hours ago. Nobody covers it in the US.
