Default Re: Intervention: Good or Bad?

So the tailor gets attacked and he's the one who gets prosecuted? Sounds like Arab racism to me. I don't buy the version in the story either, negotiating is a normal part of trading in Pakistan. I did a lot when buying things while I was there and even though I was being outrageous it was all good humoured and a lot of fun. I doubt any Pakistani would lose their head over that.

A lot of Pakistanis living in the Gulf are poor and are only there as a means to feed their families. And it's his business and he could charge whatever he wanted. If I was selling something and someone was trying to buy something for less than what was reasonable I'd tell them to stop wasting my time.
