City: u.s.State:
it is truly amazing to see this unfold in this manner. wow! the kuwaitis shock hands with barrak, even though the kuwaiti government insisted to being the last country to make peace. the omanis, qataris, and (there is strong evidence that) the saudis did to.

i think this mentality is wrong. a hand shake is just good mannerism. it really does not mean more than just that. it does not make peace or start a war.
