Define wrong.

People in France might call it iraqe nationale. Or some shit like that, but that's right for their language.

I pronounce it the way my Iraqi friends pronounce it. "Aeeahracque."

Anyone that says Eye-Rack and Eye-Ran is just a mong. The US gov used to do that but now they say it better. You don't say A-Merica do you. Or R-Ussia

Not so.

That is almost completely irrelevant. You don't say that Germany is being pronounced wrongly because we don't pronounce it Deutschland. The same is true in this case. The closest to the correct English pronunciation of it is the second option, although as phonetics go, that's a pretty crappy way of describing it.

If you want to say it properly, it'd be i-rahk, or something similar. The second syllable is NOT rack, it's rahk.

actually it is very relevent.  not too many people in the world know germany as germany.  Alot of people spell iraq differently as well.
