This isn't the continent thread but...

The Middle-East is part of Asia.

The Caribbean is part of North America - as is Central America.

Did you not follow my link in the OP:rolleyes: :-p :biggrin:

Some needs to inform the people in Washington, DC. :biggrin:
NAFTA only involved Canada, US and Mexico. CAFTA is supposed to extend the trade zone to Central America. :biggrin:

The US doesn't treat Central America as part of North America. :rolleyes:

And I'd argue the Middle East is between Asia (or Eurasia :biggrin:) and Africa.
