I disagree that SA is an great allie, they are serving their own self interest, nothing wrong with that, I expect the US to do the same.

Conan! What is best in life?
To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women

Did they look like psychos? Is that what they looked like? They were vampires. Psychos do not explode when sunlight hits them, I don't give a **** how crazy they are!

Are you $hitting me Duh?


Apparently human rights and democracy are only important in countries that don't give us their oil.

A women was recently given 90 lashes because she was raped in Saudi Arabia, not to mention the fact that converting from Islam to Christianity is punishable by death. Great allies.

and?

They are a good ally of ours in the War.

Way to go S.A.
Now only 999,999,480 more to go.

Poor human rights policies was your reason to go to war about 5 years ago.

I thought it was WMDs, and supporting terrorism

We wouldn't even be in the middle east if it weren't for their oil, and guess who forces us to look elsewhere for oil?

Yes the woman had been raped.

But the lashes were for committing another crime. Not for being raped.

God for not putting enough oil in the US?

I don't like Saudi Arabia. I feel weird saying that, 'cause it's a whole country and I don't like the idea that I dislike a whole country. I guess I should say that I have nothing against the Saudi people themselves, and any individual Saudi citizen is probably just as good a person as one would find anywhere else.

But that culture is like all of the things I don't like about American culture, magnified by ten and without any of the good things that make me love America; like a strong, at least partly successful civil rights movement that is still in motion (perhaps losing momentum but we'll get it back). So much religious persecution. No rights for women -- heck, no rights for men! And whether or not it's a violent state or not is somewhat relative, since they seem to be causing a lot of harm around the world (and here), but then, nobody causes harm to the world, or America, like America. So it's not like the Saudis could ever be our worst enemies, we're our own worst enemies. But Saudi Arabia seems to be so violent toward its own people, which is somewhat easier to qualify. Lashing are not, in my opinion, a good thing. Not for any crime, certainly not for things that shouldn't even be crimes, definitely not for being the victim of a crime. My concept of justice and the Saudi Arabian concept of justice seem to be at odds. Of course the same is true is of me and my own government, sometimes. But at least all Americans seem to agree that it's not okay to torture other Americans (well, most of us do). That's ... something, I guess. We're not too terribly cruel to ourselves.

To me, this reads like an employment reshuffle. But then, so does the whole Iraq war.

I don't like Saudi Arabia the way some conservatives don't like the Soviet Union, I guess is what I'm saying. It's not that they think there's anything wrong with any individual Soviet. But they wish the Soviets would have gotten their act together sooner. And I wish that Saudi Arabia would get its act together and stop doing horrible things to women in the name of religion. Just my own opinion, and if any Saudi is offended, I apologize and I owe you a cup of coffee.

I mean, I know how it is -- the whole world is waiting for America to get its act together and stop putting people like Bush in power. We're the baddest nation there's ever been, we need to be more responsible than this. Spider-Man taught me that. Great power, great responsibility.

Do they have Spider-Man in Saudi Arabia? That would solve everything.
