The Muddled East
That was a long time not to post on here (the anticipation was killing you, right?), but I've been a little busy with the load of work/research. Hope you've all been surviving the brink of the Holiday shopping and having things to look forward to like a week long break for winter!!!
Yes, I know what you'd say, "That's EXACTLY what I was thinking!" which at times doesn't seem the least bit ironic to me. However, this map was taken from the archives of uncyclopedia.org.
If you've been the frequent user of wikipedia.com, you probably would not know much about this other website but it's full of idiosyncratic images/texts of people who write simply to entertain others on serious subjects such as the war in Iraq, Immigration in the U.S, the threat that is Iran, Japanese porn, and other such subjects.
Now, onto more important events like this article posted by the Middle East Forum (Some things never change) regarding an interview they did with James A. Baker III (re:Iran). Pay attention to the difference emphasized between Saudi Arabia's Islamic fundamentalism (U.S ally) and radical Islamic fundamentalism(U.S enemy) that the ME Forum points out- Of course,I would call it "the same difference," but there are advantages to being white smurfs sitting on a heap of Gold (Saudia Arabia, case in point).
