On the Corniche, these guys do what they have been doing since they were children. there are no fish, or the fish come up with festering spots. "The bombings of the refinery have mad the fish sick, and full of spots," says one of the fishermen. "So we come here and talk politics and discuss what will be bombed next." the other fisherman laughs: "Yes, and not just what, but when." They are both here for two hours, perhaps twice or three times a week. They are a sort of defiance to the bombing from the south.
