In the first election, he only got 99.96% of the votes. Fortunately, he was able to persuade the naysayers and received 100% of the votes in 2002 (as well as 100% turnout). Simply remarkable.

So why doesn't Desert Storm (or Desert Shield) work for the Kuwait liberation question?

The question specifically asks the name of the war. Should Barbarossa, Husky or Overlord work for WW2?

There needs to be a whole lot more answers for the fourth question. I must have tried a dozen all meaning the same thing and still didn't get one of the two. All mine started with a verb.

I tried swamp arabs and bog arabs before giving up on that question. Should have tried a few other types of wetlands...

If you'd tried "marshmallow Arabs", you'd have gotten it.

I'm pretty sure Saddam only received the key to the US City because he invaded Iran.

Which also prompted Iran to enter into negotiations with the US to release the hostages taken in the US Embassy in Tehran.

Jakob Yasso an Iraqi pastor living in Detroit had travelled to Iraq paid by Hussein, given the best of banquets and put up in the top Hotel in Baghdad. Hussein gave half a million dollars to Yasso for his Detroit Church. Yasso talked the Detroit Mayor, Coleman Young into awarding the key to Detroit to Hussein. Young in his 20 years as Mayor handed out more than 100 keys to the City of Detroit to people from all walks of life and abilities.

In 1991, he didn't because if he had the United States would have taken him out.

In 2003, he didn't because he didn't have any.

Wow! That's crazy. Apparently they also made a musical and a twenty part TV series based on the book.

I got a copy of that book in an Armenian flea market. It was OK. A bit too sappy for my taste.
