Geography Lesson

Post by MetDream »

I got this in an email, how many of you can complete the exercise in the link below?
It has been said that "Americans learn geography through war!" It took me several attempts to get the countries right!

Since the Middle East has been in the news for a long time it occurred to me how little we knew about it. Here is a test. It is only a geography test. I believe you will be amazed at the difficulty you have geographically, let alone how little you truly know about the areas that has been in the HEADLINES for so long.

Every American should become more familiar with these areas as the USA probably will be at crossed swords with many of those nations for a long time to come.

I got 12 for sure and on the first try. Didn't try any other of which I wasn't sure, but I'd might get a few more correct because I know more or less where they are...
