The image from Kuwait, #4, is utterly disturbing. The two figures in  
the background look to be servants. I'll gladly stand corrected if it  
is otherwise. I just couldn't get the horrible reputation the area  
has in how it treats "guest workers" out of my mind when I saw the  
image. Given that the Arabian peninsula was the last to sign the anti- 
slavery convention in the 1960's, and kicking and screaming all the  
way to the table no less, it paints a grim picture.
