CNN on 'Eraq'

I'm glad that CNN feels it okay to run light-hearted commercials about what's going on in Iraq. Click the link and choose the commercial in the middle called 'Eraq' with Christiane Amanpour, in which she tires to explain to someone that she's telling the news to that it's pronounced 'E-raq' not 'I-raq', just like 'E-ran' not 'I-ran'.

Admittedly, it's a cute commercial, and most Americans DO mispronounce it, including the Shrub himself.

But that's not really the point, is it?
