The Middle East is a historical and political region of Afro-Eurasia with no clear boundaries. The term "Middle East" was popularized around 1900 in the United Kingdom; it has a loose definition traditionally encompassing countries or regions in Western Asia and parts of North Africa. The region is only EAST from the perspective of Europe. To an Indian, it lies to the west; to a Russian, it lies to the south. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/5/5d/GreaterMiddleEast.gi...
