Mars Bar Diplomacy

Here's Muhammed (not Goha, that was a street name), the little guy I spoke of in the previous post. I took this photo tonight, after our "purchases." He was, of course, mesmerized by the camera as well as my iPod. This was a pose invented of his own volition. I enjoy the few minutes I see him every other evening or so. I'd like to think I am giving him a decent impression of an American, or the one I would like to present to the world. Maybe one day he'll recall it was an American who bought him some meals, and drift from the notion of the American who is bombing his neighbors and placing him at an extreme disadvantage in life.
