I agree. When I discuss this subject or any other touchy one, I try to be correct in who I point fingers at. I'm not really saying it's okay to be insensitive, just that it's common, and usually harmless, for people to call individuals by their country's name. Like when we say "Iran did so and so", well I'm sure there were some people who disagreed.
