Yea like most southerns pronounce Iraq. Or any country beginning with I for the matter.

I-raq, I-ran, I-talian, while it should be pronounced with an "E" or "ah". I don't know why people don't make an effort to change that. We can get pissed at foreigners mispronouncing American things yet we can say whatever we want.

Sounds like a big double-standard.
