What country did the war take place in the middle east?

Technically the "Middle East" is Southwest Asia. The word "Orient" means EAST. The "Middle Orient" would actually be India, Afghanistan, etc. Iraq, Israel, Jordon, Syria, etc. are actually in Southwest Asia; Turkey used to be called ASIA MINOR. Southeast Asia is Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, Burma, etc. "Occident" means WEST. Mis-titling started during WW1 when Britain began releasing their colonies in Southwest and Central Asia (Arab nations and India). Since Britain was the primary colony holder in the world, the US has followed their lead in using British naming systems. Britain termed Asian countries based upon the distance the country was from Great Britain. Example: if an Asian country was close to England, such as Turkey, it was ASIA MINOR or the NEAR EAST. If an Asian country such as Japan was far from England, it was the FAR EAST. The Korean War was fought in the Far East (Far Orient), Eastern Asia; Korean Peninsula. The Vietnam War was fought in the Far East (Far Orient), Southeast Asia. The Six-Day Arab-Israeli War was fought in Southwest Asia (Southwest Orient); or to use the old British term the "Near East or ASIA MINOR". The Yom-Kipper War, Arabs vs Israel fought in the same areas noted above. Operation Desert Storm (January thru Febuary 1991) was conducted in Southwest Asia (Iraq). Or in the old British term, the "NEAR EAST or ASIA MINOR." Operation Iraqi Freedom (2003 to present) same as above. Afghanistan Operations would be closer to the MIDDLE EAST (Middle Orient). Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan, India are flanked on both sides with Asian countries (Far East and Far West Asians).
