As much as I think that the name should stay, simply because that is what history has called it...I also think he has every right to rename it if he wants. I am not sure how we would react if, say, Afghanistan named the White House something of their liking. A time would come, I think, where we would want control of what was named, and name it.

It's easy to say that they are self-centered and egotistical. But so are we. Its called Nationalism. We have EXTREME Nationalism here. We are very ethno-centric. There is nothing wrong with that. But it does come off to other people as being rude. Just remember, they are just like that in that aspect.

Whatever the name, it is what it is.
