There was a programme once mocking the americans sense of geography.

They basically asked where america should invade next... Iran came the answer... which was just south of mexico

[thulfi]

haha awesome photo though, knew Americans weren't totally with it, but that's unreal!

And how many can identify the country that they think is Egypt?

[G]

Pretty much everything that isnt highlighted to the left of saudi arabia lol... including the Sinai peninsular.

EDIT: I only just re read your question... haha yeah a fairly important country to the yanks... seen as they have spent the last few years there

Well they might as well have been on the Iraqi side in the last little lot with the number of blue on blues they had shooting up our lot.

[tom-k6]

[xXBADGERXx]

No cant be Cambodia.Thats just north of USA and south of
Alaska.
And surely the bit they label as Israel is actually Thailand?And how come China aint on the map?

Typical americans and typical american news (facts optional).


True story:
I told someone last year I was going to Wales.
Obviously confused, I said it's in the UK. More confused looks, England, I said.
They asked if I was riding my bike all the way there.
Noooo I replied. Then they asked me if I had to cross an ocean to get there.
:rolleyes:

Obviously someone who voted for GWB.

I wouldn't say it was an invasion. That's what 'they' did. I say we 'escorted' 'them' back home. At least that's what happened the first time round. :)

Just a shame we were not allowed to finish the job properly then. :roll:

I see a degree in geography coming on....:rolleyes:

[DaveW_42]

brilliant. They should really realise that where they think Egypt is, is a country they've already invaded!
