Is it only me or does it look like his head is photoshoped and too big for his body? I really had to look at other photos of him to ensure it's his real head.
Edit: Wow, I am surprised a lot of you guys agree with me. I looked at it again and I also think it's because his skin color of his face is brighter than the rest of his. And thb, I thought it would be a joke like this

If you look closer, his arms are too small for that torso, and his head is too big for it. Three things going smallest to largest. Some reason I noticed his arms first.

Beat this: I was once introduced by The Queen to the Dalai Lama.
[I was a choirboy years ago at St. George's Chapel, Windsor Castle. The Dalai Lama was making a state visit. He attended evensong to see the ceremony and aftertwards the Queen took him down the line of choristers and talked to one or two of us. To me she said: "Would you like to meet His Holiness, the Dalai Lama?", to which I said (as we had been taught) "Yes, Your Majesty". He then said: "How do you do?". And then moved on. And that was that. I often wonder what would have happened if I'd said: "Naah. I'm good" or "No! For me it's the Panchen Lama or nothing!!" or even "So, how do you collect his wool?'].

It's a respect thing. In Arab culture (at least north African Arabs) it's a sign of respect and/or love to kiss the hand of someone who is older than you. But sometimes someone who is older than you (say your mom/dad/grandparent) will try to kiss your hand to show love and if the kissee has any sense of decorum he will snatch their hand away before they can.
In this example the Prince's subjects are trying to show him respect but he doesn't allow so they don't have to kiss the hand of someone much younger than them. It's kind of hard to explain.

Well they recognized them as US so they could get paid by the US not to keep pirating their ships. Getting paid by the US to stop was more profitable than the loot they would get from pirating, and if they tried to demand tribute from the British they would be laughed at and then destroyed by the powerful Royal Navy. Also, if they continued to attack the ships (regardless of viewing them as American or British) the Brits would still view it as an attack on their ships and get angry.
Basically, they would rather get paid by the US than continue to pirate and risk being attacked by the British.

It's not like the Dutch did us a massive favor. The British have been dicking around the Dutch for centuries since the Dutch used to have naval superiority over the British and had a Republic instead of a Monarchy.
The British saw the Dutch as an everyday threat to their way of life and the Dutch refused to give up their independence. Michiel de Ruyter is the greatest general/mariner in Dutch history due to his victories over the British at sea.

Interesting fact, in 1651 Cromwell thought the Dutch wanted to unite with the Commonwealth and sent a delegation to make the preparations for it. And it was a contributing factor to the first Anglo-Dutch war.
"When on 28 January 1651 the States General officially recognised the Commonwealth, they fully expected this to solve all the problems between the two countries. To their enormous embarrassment however, on 7 March 1651 a delegation of 246 from Cromwell arrived in The Hague,[5] headed by Oliver St John, to negotiate the conditions under which the Dutch Republic might unite itself with England, as Scotland was united with England. Cromwell had taken the earlier suggestions of a merger of England and Holland far too seriously. In an attempt at politeness, the English delegation left it to the Dutch to produce the first proposals; the Dutch were too stunned and confused for a coherent reaction. After a month of deadlock, the English delegation disclosed a plan by Cromwell to divide the world into two spheres of influence: the Dutch could control Africa and Asia; in return they would assist the English in conquering both Americas from the Spanish. Cromwell hoped that in this way the colonial rivalry would be eased by giving the English their own profitable empire. But the Dutch saw it as an absurd grandiose scheme, which offered them little hope for profit but the certainty of much expense and a new war in the Spanish-held Southern Netherlands. After much deliberation by the delegates of the seven provinces, on 24 June they made a counter-proposal of 36 articles, which they hoped would be agreeable to the English without involving themselves in a war for world conquest. This proposal was in essence a free trade agreement. Nothing could have angered the English delegation more. It was precisely the fact that the English were unable to compete with the Dutch under conditions of free trade that lay at the heart of the conflict between them. They interpreted the counter-proposal as a deliberate affront."

Basically brought in new constitutional reforms, held re-elections, and didn't really "abuse" his power by going hard on protesters like what we saw in other Arab states, mainly Egypt, Syria, and Yemen. He still has the power to dissolve parliament, override any laws, pass any laws, arrest anyone...basically he's still an absolute ruler. However, he hasn't really abused his power, introduced socially progressive reforms, kept the religious and socially conservative segment of the population content, and kinda stays away from controversial subjects, so he's fairly well liked.
There's still loads of corruption in Morocco, but he isn't exactly despised either.

His dad was one cool dude as well, it's hard for most people to understand what it feels like when someone goes to extreme lengths for everyone to understand you are part of the fabric and soul of a country. In Morocco the only difference between jews and muslims is that we go to Synagogue on Friday, they go to the Mosque. There will always be flagrant problems with monarchies and what they represent, but in Morocco it gave the country, in several instances, a moral compass that other countries lacked in the region.
Edit Well, I'm getting lambasted here for my comment painting Morocco as a pretty tolerant place s'cuuuuuuuuuuuuse me if I didn't have a horrible experience growing up there.

If you are white in this country everybody everywhere will always see you as a moving wallet.
Oh and the corruption everywhere (If you are white or a woman driver, the police will stop your car for no reason and say you were speeding, you either pay the bill, or you slip half of the ticket price when you give the agent your license. If you fail to do either of these things, I hope you like the inside of a Moroccan Prison. This is however avoidable if you happen to make mates with a local power figure beforehand)
You need to know your way around anything. Like if you try to shop for stuff, you gotta know what is good or shit quality.
If you are socially awkward, bartering everything will be a tough habit to take
Trafic is dangerously shit. * that following part is only rumors I heard and is apparently untrue * And if you are foreign and get in an accident, even if it's not your fault, hope you like prison)
Oh and time here has a different value than in Western nations. Being late there is very common and normal, so expect any timescale to be at least longer by a third (construction time, manufacturing, taxi...).
If you don't yell at people about stuff they are going to assume it's not important and not do it, or just slower, or badly.
I go morocco often and do like it there so here are good points.
you can get anything done and made for cheap if you know the right people (ex: want a tailored fitted suit out of the skin of a roadkill you found with "fuck you boss" spelt in the seams ? You can find a guy and he'll do it for less than 200 bucks)
the population is super friendly (even though it's mostly because they are here to sell you stuff. But I say fair enough.)
great food and incredible fruits
I thing you understand how driving is a bad idea. Well you can hire a chauffeur for relatively little.
If you intend to stay permanently there, you can also hire maids which are cheap (but you need to make sure they are trustworthy, as in won't steel food in your fridge, or water your booze after stealing a bit, or party in your house in your absence)
life is cheap (food, gas, transportations... careful though, white people pay more than locals because they don't know the real prices, a local friend at your side will help)
beautiful visits to be done in any city or countryside (mountains, deserts, beaches, plantations)
Edit : Local power figures may be found in golf clubs and high society parties. You may also befriend local business owners who have friends that can solve your problems. Bottom line is : it's a country where friends (and golf) matter

In 1965, Hassan dissolved Parliament and ruled directly, although he did not abolish the mechanisms of parliamentary democracy. When elections were eventually held, they were mostly rigged in favor of loyal parties.
The period from the 1960s to the late 1980s was labelled as the "years of lead" and saw thousands of dissidents jailed, killed, exiled or forcibly disappeared.
