The US now has troops in two of them. Observation #1: Iran's western land border measures 2,603 km, of which 1,458 km are borders with Iraq - that's 56%. Observation #2: Iran's eastern land border measures 2,837 km, of which 936 km are borders with Afghanistan - that's 33%. Observation #3: In total, 44% of Iran's land borders are with US-occupied countries. If anything is highly misleading, it's *your* statement, mr.

Next time you use your usual condescending language towards our esteemed Dr. Brin, maybe you should first check if you're replying to *him* or to someone he's only quoting. In your own words: Uh huh...... And while you're at it, maybe you should start considering that your usual condescending language towards people you disagree with doesn't exactly contribute to your credibility. _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
