Pop Quiz on the Middle East (Revised)
by James J.
David - Jan 7, 2003
The original Middle East Pop Quiz was
published by Charley Reese back on
February 8, 1998. Since then,
there have been many additions to the quiz which I have added on this
Labor Day week-end. With many thanks to Charley Reese and hoping he
makes a full recovery from his recent illness, I present the updated
version.
