Steve Holden > Failaka island was overrun by the Iraqis when they invaded in 1990, which is a real shame because there was little of value -- mostly just people living their lives -- not even any good looting like in Kuwait City.  The Iraqis treated the place like some of the folks back home treat road signs.
Steve Holden > Some people are surprised that the women stay clothed here on the public beach.  There are some "family" beaches where single guys are not allowed, and that's where the women swim.
