sidebar: the persian gulf<\/strong><\/p>\n

growing up, my image of the Persian Gulf was this:<\/p>\n

\"Gulf_War_Photobox\"<\/a>

via Wikipedia<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n

i was 13 at the time of the Gulf War, and i remember watching CNN nightly. because of this, Persian Gulf<\/em> became synonymous with “Desert Storm”, burning oil fields, Scud missiles, and Saddam Hussein.<\/p>\n

it wasn’t until over two decades later that i actually saw the Gulf with my own eyes. i knew there was much more to it than conflict and strife (and Iraq and Kuwait), yet it was a relief to see it, to touch its waters, and to know that there are more salient associations to be had than the narrow understanding with which i lived for most of my life.<\/p>\n
