Their interp is a precision nightmare---for NATO conditions for article 5 activation ARE explicitly tied to geography---article 6 proves

The application of Article 5 is limited geographically by Article 6 of the treaty to attacks against the territories of the member states and forces and ships at sea north of the Tropic of Cancer or in the Mediterranean.1 In 1949, U.S. Senator Arthur Vandenberg, whose Senate resolution was critical in ensuring that the treaty gained bipartisan American support, was particularly insistent that the treaty be regionally circumscribed. The wording was designed in major part to keep the United States from having to defend its allies' colonial possessions in Africa, Asia, and Latin America; although that point was turned against the United States at the time of the Vietnam War. But since the United States was attacked at home on September 11, Article 5 could apply. The treaty is silent, however, about where a military or other response can take place - in this case in Afghanistan, 7,000 miles from where the United States was attacked.
