> West Asia war

Oh, snap, did Turkey attack Cyprus again? :-p

What West Asian war? Isn't Iran firmly in the Middle East by any reasonable definition?

West Asia is a less Eurocentric than “Orient” or “Middle East.” I like it.

LOL

"Asia" is a Greek name, fully Eurocentric.

The entire continent doesn't even make sense. Geographically, sure, culturally, absolutely not. It should either be Eurasia or probably about 5 different continents (South of Himalaya aka Indian subcontinent, North of Himalaya aka Siberia + Central Asia + China + South East Asia, South of Caucasus + Kopet Dag aka Middle East, etc).

The middle east is in Asia, no?
