The other interesting thing about this area is that, for some reason, there are supposedly a good deal of Iranian spies who wander over and sneak about. This actually became quite relevant to my stay in Diwaniya. Isn't this starting to read like a mystery novel...

WHy would "this actually became quie relevant to my stay in Diwaniya".????

Exactly, Ann. Especially when he is ending the story and says:

Anyhow, the story ends in a rather anti-climatic fashion - the police collect me and take me off to the Lieutenant who is more worried for my safety than about me being an Iranian spy.

Huh? If they weren't worried about him being an Iranaian spy, then WHAT was he talking about the whole topic for?
