A Palestine here, a Lebanon there, Londons everywhere!

Before you blame the Americans for being somewhat lacking in Geography, let me apprise you with some facts. The US has some six Londons, two Bagdads and one Lebanon. Have a look at Texas alone. It is littered with historical places like Athens, Carthage and Palestine. You'll also come across cities like Edinburgh and Paris. Then there are cities named after Newton, Dickens & Dumas. That’s just one state of the US. The Americans truly have “The whole world in their lands”.
