	Libya, Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco, Sudan, Mauritania, Djibouti, Somalia, Afghanistan, and Pakistan most certainly are not part of the Middle East. Iran is only questionably part of it.

	@bsd987: They are all part of the region called "The Greater Middle East" :)

	EDIT INFO: I've changed the name of the quiz from "Countries of the Middle East" to "Countries of the Greater Middle East"

	okay, since you changed the title. Note for future reference that Greater Middle East is not Middle East. Greater Middle East refers to a politically charged association coined by former U.S President George Bush. Middle East refers to the geographical area that excludes the countries I mentioned above.

	If we accept the "Greater Mid East" concept (and I can) then how can you have every country that surrounds Eritrea and not include them?

	EDIT INFO: I have added Eritrea as an answer.

	Tomahaha is wrong, you should not have added Eritrea! You cannot just change the idea of the Greater Middle East. Eritrea is not included and nor is Ethiopia (though you did not include that country). I do like how you made countries sometimes associated with the GME bonus, nice touch. But definitely take out Eritrea, it is not associated with the GME or ME.
