#2 Check the geography texts used by the Saudi schools and tell me if you can find a map of Israel. Palestine is there, but not Israel. So, they've already wiped Israel off the map or, more likely, never put in on the map in the first place.

#3 Carthage, Carthage. Damn it, it's got to be somewhere on the map. Look again.

#6 Actually they can and are wiped off the map. Just look at Africa and wait five minutes. POP. Ohhh, new country. New countries show up all the time and old ones vanish.

I'd be careful though, since the US could reduce Iran into howling barbarism without even bothering to use nukes or put a foot on the ground. Destroy every powerplant, bridge, railhead, oil facility, etc and the country will fall apart real quick.

#8 Irans foreign minister said on Saturday that no country could be removed from the map

Oh yes they can, Mr. Foreign Minister. Oh yes they can.

#9 Islam is working rather strenuously to disprove this exact concept in quite a number of different cases.
