Question: What percentage of the population of the country, that held 66 of the people who the Bush administration described as heroic hostage for 444 days in the late 1970s, is made up of the people whose language Xenophon said sounded like Armenian?

Because the actions involved in the "war on terrorism" are diffuse, and the criteria for inclusion are unclear, political theorist Richard Jackson has argued that "the 'war on terrorism' therefore, is simultaneously a set of actual practices—wars, covert operations, agencies, and institutions—and an accompanying series of assumptions, beliefs, justifications, and narratives—it is an entire language or discourse." Jackson cites among many examples a statement by John Ashcroft that "the attacks of September 11 drew a bright line of demarcation between the civil and the savage". Americans, in contrast, were described as brave, loving, generous, strong, resourceful, heroic, and respectful of human rights. Administration officials also described "terrorists" as hateful, treacherous, barbarous, mad, twisted, perverted, without faith, parasitical, inhuman, and, most commonly, evil. <SEP> these events are described in detail within the behistun inscription. after the administrative reorganization of the persian empire, armenia was converted into several satrapies. armenian satraps regularly intermarried with the family of the king of kings. these satraps provided contingents to xerxes' invasion of greece in 480 bc. herodotus says that the armenians in the army of xerxes "were armed like the phrygians." in 401 bc xenophon marched through armenia with a large army of greek mercenaries as part of the march of the ten thousand. xenophon mentions two individuals by the name orontes, apparently both persian. one was a nobleman and military officer of high rank, belonging to the royal family; as the commander of the citadel of sardis, he waged war against cyrus the younger and he tried to betray him to artaxerxes ii memnon shortly before the battle of cunaxa, but was taken prisoner and sentenced to death by a court martial. xenophon's anabasis has a detailed description of the country, where it is also written that the region near the river centrites was defended by the satrap of armenia for artaxerxes ii, named orontes, son of artasyras, who had armenian contingents as well as alarodians. tiribaz is mentioned as hipparchos (vice-governor) of armenia under orontes, who later became satrap of lydia. <SEP> As with the spoken languages, the ethnic group composition also remains a point of debate, mainly regarding the largest and second largest ethnic groups, the Persians and Azerbaijanis, due to the lack of Iranian state censuses based on ethnicity. The CIA's World Factbook has estimated that around 79% of the population of Iran are a diverse Indo-European ethno-linguistic group that comprise the speakers of Iranian languages, with Persians constituting 53% of the population, Gilaks and Mazanderanis 7%, Kurds 10%, Lurs 6%, and Balochs 2%. Peoples of the other ethnicities in Iran make up the remaining 22%, with Azerbaijanis constituting 16%, Arabs 2%, Turkmens and Turkic tribes 2%, and others 2% (such as Armenians, Talysh, Georgians, Circassians, Assyrians). <SEP> The Iran hostage crisis was a diplomatic standoff between Iran and the United States of America. Fifty - two American diplomats and citizens were held hostage for 444 days from November 4, 1979, to January 20, 1981, after a group of Iranian college students belonging to the Muslim Student Followers of the Imam's Line, who supported the Iranian Revolution, took over the U.S. Embassy in Tehran. It stands as the longest hostage crisis in recorded history. <SEP> Historically, the name Armenian has come to internationally designate this group of people. It was first used by neighbouring countries of ancient Armenia. The earliest attestations of the exonym Armenia date around the 6th century BC. He relates that the people spoke a language that to his ear sounded like the language of the Persians. In his trilingual Behistun Inscription dated to 517 BC, Darius I the Great of Persia refers to Urashtu (in Babylonian) as Armina (in Old Persian; Armina (    ) and Harminuya (in Elamite). In Greek, Αρμένιοι "Armenians" is attested from about the same time, perhaps the earliest reference being a fragment attributed to Hecataeus of Miletus (476 BC). Xenophon, a Greek general serving in some of the Persian expeditions, describes many aspects of Armenian village life and hospitality in around 401 BC. <SEP> though brazilians of at least partial african heritage make up a large percentage of the population, few blacks have been elected as politicians. the city of salvador, bahia, for instance, is 80% people of color, but voters have not elected a mayor of color. journalists like to say that us cities with black majorities, such as detroit and new orleans, have not elected white mayors since after the civil rights movement, when the voting rights act of 1965 protected the franchise for minorities, and blacks in the south regained the power to vote for the first time since the turn of the 20th century. new orleans elected its first black mayor in the 1970s. new orleans elected a white mayor after the widescale disruption and damage of hurricane katrina in 2005.
