Like we don't have judges that say and do outrageous things in the U.S. We need to stop the Saudi bashing. Yes there are people in Saudi Arabia who are completely wacked out religious fanatics. Yes the Saudi government had a hand in the creation of the kind of religious fanaticism that fuels Al Qaeda. But they have really worked to correct their mistakes and to try to reverse some of the policies and rhetoric that feeds into terrorism. I would point out to you that Saudi Arabia has killed or captured more Al Qaeda than any other nation on earth, the US included. Certainly they've done more than France and Germany to combat terrorism. They sure don't release Al Qaeda suspects on technicalities like the German idiots do. Funny MSNBC didn't report on the German judge who let an Al Qaeda ringleader walk.
Want to antagonize the Saudis and turn them into adversaries? Hope you're prepared for $4 a gallon oil and a US economy that goes permanently into the toilet as a result. We have the Saudis to thank that the oil situation isn't worse. They've done their level best to try to stabilize oil supplies, prices and thus the US economy. Like it or not, the economy of the West is dependent on Saudi goodwill.
Don't give in to the popular media mindset of wanting to bash the Saudis just because the media thinks in its sick little head it's another avenue of attack against Bush. Let's see if MSNBC-DNC bothers to do a follow up report on any action taken against this judge to discipline him for his ridiculous remarks.
Hel-lo... He's not just a 'judge'. He's the equivilent to a US Supreme Court Justice. And he said this while the crown prince was sitting next to him during a meeting of the Supreme Judicial Council which is the same as our Supreme Court.
We need to stop the Saudi bashing.
So, telling the truth about what would be the Saudi equivilent to a US Supreme Court Justice, calling for Saudi citizens to go fight US soldiers in Iraq is now bashing?
Yes the Saudi government had a hand in the creation of the kind of religious fanaticism that fuels Al Qaeda.
Aren't you bashing them by speaking the truth?

It seems to me that it's the Saudis who are doing the antagonizing, but that's just me.
The Saudis created the madrassas worldwide, they perpetuate wahabbiism, they do little other than to try to control their own overthrow by the people. And they are ungrateful for the reprieve we gave them after their countrymen killed our citizens and soldiers on 9/11. They've killed or captured more al-queda because their country was the base for al-queda operatives, so naturally, there are more terrorists milling around . As for oil, the sooner we wean ourselves off the saudi nipple, the better. Americans are ingenious and will work around the oil problem if the need arises. Oh, and $4.00 a gallon gas? Gas is already $2.20-$2.70 a gallon and climbing and the saudis and OPEC only act when it looks like we may get our oil from Russia or our own soil. With our billions in oil money they only pump up the monster of muslim extremism and the world becomes more unstable...
