The Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is an Authocracy. I am not going to give Pres. Bush any advice about his decisions. He has the most formidable agencies and think tanks at his disposal to do so.
However for the common reader, Islam has among its precepts many values, we do not deny it. But it has a very special characteristic which is not to dissociate Religion and State. A direct result is the Shari'a, which rules every facet of the community life. So no need for a parliament or house of representatives which first mission is to legislate, all the needed legislation is already here from 14 centuries!
The next mission of the House is to observe and control the acts of government done by the administration according to the Law. Here it is according to the Shari'a.
So you can ask: Where is democracy, or the government of the people by the people?
I can give Bush some advice:
(1) Stop saying "Islam is a religion of Peace"
(2) Stop helping the Palestinians, they hate you.
(3) Stop speaking Spanish, demand that INS remove everyone
who isnt papered, revoke citizenship of all anchor babies and kick out their families.
(4) Stop encouraging Americans to do business in China, kick out all chinese students who are here on visas.
(5) Get our valuable soldiers out of Iraq and let those murderous bastards kill each other.
(6) If you really want "Homeland Security" secure the border.(Like Duh!)
(7) Tell Mr. Magoo over at the fed to stop printing fiat
currency notes.
(8) The Islamic Nations HATE us please learn to Hate them back.
