    It was a cold war thing, the US put the current government (friendlier at the time) in place so they could launch nukes at russia.

    They did the same to Iraq (along with GB and others) for oil.

    On a less serious note, you really should know the history of your own country. I'm Canadian and I knew that.

    B: A short-range communications technology that uses radio waves

    C: An infamous pirate who terrorised the Caribbean in the 18th Century


    Honestly, the should know they are taking a computer literacy quiz, and realize that A and C have nothing to do with computers! Some of the others were understandable, such as the HTML q, I would be surprises if anyone that doesn't know HTML knows what it stands for.

    An infamous pirate? I pity da foo who guesses that!
