First thing to know..I hate this newspaper. So, I am in no way defending them. They are the crappiest paper in the UK. They did something very very wrong (in my opinion) a few months ago. I won't go into it because if you don't live in the UK it won't matter. On this one, whoever made the map put the name is a really bad place.
I think this is a case of it being difficult to see and hence we are all seeing different things.
However, I am not good at many things in this world but I do know geography. That comes from having been a travel agent for a number of years, a journalism major before that and if we go WAY back I was in AP geography.
So, I thought I would show you what I mean.
This is Kuwait on a different map. Notice the location of the borders.
Now here is an even more super zoomed version of the News of the World (spit..I hate that 'news'paper) map. Note the arrows showing the borders and where the green is located.
I can understand why it looks pink but it isn't. Someone just put the name of the country in a stupid place. Which doesn't suprise me with The News Of The World.
