Only three countries in the world have a Shiite Muslim majority: Iraq, Iran, and Bahr*in. Saddam was Sunni, so is the Bahr*ini king.

When Shiite Arabs here are upset, they don't blow themselves up and they don't protest. They find some busy road, roll a shitload of tires on it, set them alight and throw rocks at anything that comes within range.

You'd be a fucking idiot to drive into something like that, though. You can see the smoke a from across the city. If one of those unhappy cunts threw a rock through my window, I'd honk my horn SO fucking loud as I was driving away.

Anyway, what's the king to do? Shiite Arab police aren't gonna give these guys the beating he thinks they deserve, and if he sends his Sunnis, the Shiites will see it as an us-vs-them thing and flip out. What he needs is Shiites who won't be put off beating on a fellow Shiite - that is - poor Shiites who can't speak Arabic. Poor Shiites without a heart... robots..... Pakistanis!

So these Pakistanis rock in with body armor, tear gas, and automatic weapons and beat the shit out of the Shiites. Or so I hear. I don't go near those fires and it sure as fuck doesn't appear in the papers or the news. I see the Pakistani soldiers everywhere, though. You know shit is going down when you see the Pakistanis. These actions do affect me in one big way, though: the tire fires melt the road. The roads here are fucked. In addition to the damage the tire fires do, you have all the cracks and holes caused by unstable land reclaimation, shitloads of sand, 50*C (120*F) temperatures, etc... Most people deal with it by buying a SUV or something floaty like a Mustang. This is why I'd worry about the Z. It's beautiful but it's so inappropriate. It sits so low to the ground and is such a stiff ride. And there are some shortcuts I take to work through the desert. At the moment, driving rental cars, I don't give a fuck. I've only beached my car twice. But if I was driving a car I loved, I'd be freaking out.

If only SUVs weren't so fucking ugly.
