While rm -rf has a nice quaint charm to it, with the middle east I think about the best command would be:
$ mount | grep middleeast
/dev/middleeast1 on /country/iraq type minix (rw)
/dev/middleeast2 on /country/iran type vfat (rw)
/dev/middleeast3 on /country/syria type ext2 (rw)
$ su
Password: *******
# umount /country/ira[qn] /country/syria
# mkfs -t reiserfs /dev/middleeast1
# mkfs -t reiserfs /dev/middleeast2
# mkfs -t reiserfs /dev/middleeast3
#
# mkdir /country/USOilField
# mkdir /country/MallAndParkingLot
# mkdir /country/DisneyMiddleEast
#
# mount /dev/middleeast1 /country/USOilField
# mount /dev/middleeast2 /country/MallAndParkingLot
# mount /dev/middleeast3 /country/DisneyMiddleEast
# exit
$
Why reiserfs? Because it allows you to have tail.
