geography lesson

Even if it is seemingly impossible to avoid discussions of the stupid war (despite the fact that everyone is already exhibiting war fatigue - just end it quickly, please), it is amusing to note that not everyone's sense of where the war is happening is accurate. Sure, everyone knows it's in the Middle East, but where?

If you think your grasp on geopolitics is secure, then go here, do the thing and let me know how you did - because I failed miserably (getting the crowd favorites but dying in abject horror at the remnants of the old USSR).

At the very least, your general knowledge will improve even as you wax eloquent on whatever position you've taken. If you really must.
