None that I know of.

PurelyAvgGirl scores average!!!! 80%

6) Surprized me, though with choice of U.S., Iran or Kuwait ... one could assume U.S.... I did count this Q as incorrect.

I wold have thought Turkey...

In retrospect I suppose that postion is because of geographic location of Iran and some ties of Kurds with Iran... though I could be wrong.

18) Encouraging the Kurds to revolt against Saddam Hussein:
U.S., Kofi Anan or Putin.

I also counted as incorrect though definately should have known...does show what little attention I paid to World Affairs back in the 90's.

95% Iraq's weapons purchases were from Russia.
