The thing is, when we finally got to Baghdad, I asked him how much I owed him, he said in Arabic, (whatever you want to give me.) This was a Shiaa man, whose family had been starved by Saddam, and half of them wiped out. But his human spirit had not wavered, had not stopped believing in humanity, in the goodness of man, and in the kindness of strangers. Himself, a total stranger to me, who turned out to be one of the most decent, trust-worthy men I have yet to meet, protecting me, a "Chritian-Assyrian-American", from border officials, from the corrupt system, from the unknown of the desert darkness, until he got me safe to my cousins.

And I'm supposed to hate such people?
