But the performers never got hurt; at times you'll catch them giggling at the indignities they were asked to portray. If there's kink...

...short. After the al-Hais brothers have spoken, all that's required of the other speakers is to agree as quickly as possible. Then it's back to the singing and dancing, and now some of the sheiks are coaxed to join in. A poet, clad incongruously in leather jacket and trousers, loudly declaims the virtues of patriotism and warns against those who would seek to hurt Iraq.
