The area including Iraq, and the other countries around it, is referred to as SW Asia. At least that's what my orders deploying me to Operation Iraqi Freedom said. But when one hears the word "Asian" it conjures up images of people from Japan, China, Korea, Vietnam, etc.

IIRC, "asia" begins at the bosporos, the waterway from the Mediterranian to the Black Sea
