Please explain the ME situation in terms of US states and cities! |
|
I'm bad with distances, especially of foreign countries I know nothing about. Could somebody please explain the current situation in the Middle East in terms of US states and cities? Thanks.

the combined area of Lebanon and Israel is smaller than the area of the state of Maryland and the distance between Beirut and Jerusalem is 147 miles which is approximately the distance between Baltimore and Manhattan. We're talking about a very small area.

3. Haifa is about 30 kilometers from the Lebanon border, so |
|
that's about 20 miles give or take. (1 mile = 1.6 kilometers; one kilometer = 0.62 miles)
As if you were in Annapolis lobbing missiles into Baltimore or D.C. neighborhoods.
Or if you were in Daytona Beach shooting them into Orlando.

4. the Internets are your friend |
|
seems to me to be the perfect opportunity to LEARN about a "foreign country I know nothing about". ignorance in America is defined by the desire to never leave her borders (either physically or mentally)
