"I nodded. Take a head shot, get a head shot. And what kind of gun did he prefer? 'Different jobs demand different guns,' Stead said. 'Now an AK-47, it's got bettter range than your M-16...'" (p.149)
What can you assume about a society where people talk about the best type of weapon for an assasination? Obviously you can assume that it is a violent society. What would you think if you were sitting with some friends and they started discussing what weapon they were going to buy to dispatch someone who rubbed them the wrong way? I know I would think that my friends were crazy. It is just such a different world in the middle east. It is much more primitive to be able to discuss subjects such as that. Stead goes on to describe the mindset of a killer. That you have to hide behind your beliefs basically, just like every last terrorist. Terrorists kill for their cause/religion. -MAD

This is not actually as shocking as it seems. For instance, if there are two dear hunters talking, there will most likely be a comment on what do you use for a rifle, for the best range or power, and what is the best scope for distance and precision. The only difference is what they are hunting, which leads into my point of culture in these parts of the world. Places like this have been filled with revolution, and death to a point where carrying a rifle could just be a form of life or selfdefence. ASM
