Yesterday, in my class on Middle East politics, one of my students who served in the US military in Iraq was telling me about a manual that he was given upon arriving in Iraq, and it had references to shoes and Iraq culture. I saw many of the students smiling widely: these are the ones who read the blog although they did not say so as I never EVER mention the blog in class. So I had to speak on shoes and Arab culture in class.
