Today I went to the hookah bar. It was very relaxing. What was strange is that they had the TVs tuned to Al Jazeerah. First I saw the war from an Arabic perspective. I saw the casualties and bullets hitting walls above American soldiers that you never see on CNN. Then they switched to coverage of Yassar Arafat's death. The man waiting on us (I believe he was the owner) was very, very gruff, and slow. When my friend went to the bathroom, I said something about it to him. With his face set in a scowl, he pointed at the TV.
