My evening at the souk was spent shaking hands with the locals that would quickly ask me if I was American... and would quickly tell me how they liked Americans... a strange experience for a seasoned traveler that has spent decades traversing the globe, while dodging many uncomfortable conversations about hating Americans... The two young guys in the pic jumped out of their shop as I walked by and asked me if I wanted to buy a gun... and that they had some really nice machine guns for sale... I declined, but ended up having very interesting conversations about the Iraq invasion and the American liberation of their country... Since posting this picture I have had a few emails from other travelers, telling me that these guns are air rifles, as "real" ones are not allowed to be sold within the country...
