someone from face book (reprodused on twitter) apparently tryed to claim that this ment irans rout between the med and the indian ocsian.
i could well be wrong, but i think there is only one rout between these two, and thats the suze canal. i assume that becous digging a canal if there were a perfectly good river would be realy dumb.
The Suez Canal is indeed the shortest route between the Indian Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea, by way of the Red Sea. However, you can tell your Facebook person the Suez Canal is owned and maintained by the Suez Canal Authority of Egypt, not Syria. And international treaty states the canal may be used "in time of war as in time of peace, by every vessel of commerce or of war, without distinction of flag." - meaning, basically, it does not matter who Iran is or is not friends with, they still get to use it.
sorry, i knew this. i ment to point it out. i saw the med thing on tumbler, via whatever, via whatever.
i ment to point out that whatever the excuse, its stil realy dumb, becous if there was a rout from syia to the indian ocsian, why would anyone dig a canal through egypt.
i dont think i have any republicans on my facebook, or twitter for that matter...
*nods* indeed. I feel it really demonstrates how scarily ignorant Romney is on these topics. Not just saying stupid stuff, but dangerously stupid stuff for someone seeking to be PotUS.

Someone pointed me to this (http://www.rethinkingschools.org/just_fun/games/mapgame.html) the other day. I've been doing it a couple of times a day, and hoping some of this will rub off on medium-term memory.
