Notice how pleased some Western reporters are when they notice the natives wearing Western clothes: "At the mosque, Lebanese internal security forces stood guard on the roof. Some of the young Sunni men, wearing Dolce & Gabbana T-shirts and Limp Bizkit caps, waved black flags in support of Murabetoun, a Sunni militia. Eido, a former judge and an outspoken critic of Syria, was a member of that militia during the country's 15-year civil war that cost the lives of at least 150,000 people." Those American reporters: they may not know the language of the country that they are covering, but they certainly can recognize a Dolce & Gabban T-shirt. (thanks Waleed)
