Stan doesn't know his politics, Pakistan is now recognized as part of the Greater Middle East..it was classified as such by the right wing neocons and in intellectual circles it is classified as a Middle Eastern country -read American Orientalism or Said's Orientalism.
And you don't know your geography I notice a new term greater Middle East in your ramblings not the Middle East and I won't be reading American orientalism any time soon I prefer maps
Yes well we know you Brits like to tell people where they live but you are completely off the charts with this one.. I only used that term cause that was the official term the Neocons gave it..but at university level , or any international conference or summit Pakistian is a middle eastern country,they never use the term greater middle east they just say middle east in reference to afgan and pakistan.. They class themselves as a middle eastern country too.
