	- By David Plotz - Slate Magazine
		Born in 1949, Bandar was the illegitimate child of Prince Sultan and a servant.
		Bandar's father—who's been the kingdom's defense minister since the early '60s—scarcely acknowledged the boy, but his grandmother, the widow of King Abdulaziz, recognized his spark and protected him.
		Bandar, a PR agent, has always sold a vision of Saudi Arabia that was, to put it politely, stylized—glossing over its burgeoning Islamism and anti-Americanism.

		Bandar replied that Saddam stayed in power because he was ruthless, and he also told Bush that even though many European and Arab countries were saying publicly that they opposed a military effort to topple Saddam, they were saying something else in private.

		She was quite friendly otherwise, taking me to the top floor of the building for the high-view of Bandar and also eventually hooking me up with her friend Hanif, an Indian guy working in Bandar, who took me out to Bandar’s swanky new mall on my last night in Brunei.

	SalamIran - Province of Bandar Abbas
		An interesting local tradition which will be seen in Bandar Abbas and many other coastal towns of Hormozgan Province, are the borqas or the "masks" worn by some women, which are fairly hideous, semi-rigid contraptions surrounding eyes and cheek-bones and covering the nose.
		The Iranians believe that no religious taboo explains the wearing of these masks: rather it is a fashion which originates from the period of Portuguese occupation when ladies wished to talk about unrecognized or simply to protect their face from the scorching sun.
		The highly important Hormoz Strait, situated south of Bandar Abbas, is the vital passageway of international oil tankers, and Iran’s supremacy over it speaks of the country’s key position in the region.
