US Army Sergeant elected Sheik in Iraq

Sheik Horn floats around the room in white robe and headdress, exchanging pleasantries with dozens of village leaders. But he is the only sheik with blonde streaks in his mustache – and the only one who attended country music star Toby Keith’s recent concert in Baghdad with fellow U.S. soldiers.

Money quote:

Some sheiks later gave him five sheep and a postage stamp of land, fulfilling some of the requirements for sheikdom. Others encouraged him to start looking for a second wife, which Horn’s spouse back in Florida immediately vetoed.
