It's time for us all to memorize the geography of Central Asia, so that we  
know the location of countries like Turkmenistan as well as we know the 
location  of Illinois or Nebraska.
 
Pepe Escobar provides a pretty good map to help us do that, and his  
article, linked above, which contains that map is more than just  pretty 
good--it's awesome!
