Seymour I., Guatemala: "The CIA has the wrong strategy. Instead of fighting drug abuse, they should promote alcohol consumption in the Third World. Drunkards never have a political or religious interest. They just want to get drunk. They don't even care if they can't find a wife. Just let them have whiskey. So, the CIA must make sure alcohol consumption, alcohol production, and alcohol advertising are not restricted."

CIA a strategiei de gresit. Īn loc de a lupta īmpotriva drogurilor abuz, ei ar trebui sa promoveze consumul de alcool īn a treia Lume. Betivi nu au o politica sau religioasa de interes. Ei doar sa se īmbata. Ei nu-mi pasa, chiar īn cazul īn care nu pot gasi o sotie. Lasa-le-au whiskey. Astfel, CIA-ul trebuie sa-va ca consumul de alcool, consumul de alcool de productie, precum si la publicitatea de alcool nu sunt restrictionate.

The Desert Castles / Qasr Mushatta

Qasr Mushatta was once a true palace, but it is in the poorest state of repair of all the desert castles. Situated near the Queen Alia International airport, it is a huge square walled enclosure with round towers at the corners, five semi-circular ones and a monumental gateway on the south side.

This was once embellished with lavish carvings, but these were given away in 1903 by Sultan Abdul Hamid II to the German Kaiser Wilhelm II. Wilhelm had them sent to Berlin, where they can now be seen in the Pergamum Museum. A few delicate carvings remain, some lying on the ground where they fell.
