I question whether the money was designated solely for the families of Palestinian suicide bombers. The Saudi Arabian government has paid out at least $33 million to families of Palestinians killed or injured in the 17-month-old intifada and in December 2001 earmarked another $50 million for the payments. Saudi Arabia sets aside $50M for 'martyrs'
The US and Western Europe were the biggest aid givers to the Palestinians. All money is fungible.
As is oil and apparently the concept of freedom...in whatever form it’s portrayed in these days. Look, I don't want to argue with you or anyone else. I just try to inform. I could say a lot more but I'm getting the sense, not necessarily from you, that it just doesn't matter anymore. I've lived a good life. Every generation defines their own and in most cases finds some sense of meaning. I just think I've lived my life at the end of the golden age of humanity based on what I see unfolding. My life will end soon. Everyone here is free to entertain their fantasies of the future. I just happen to think they are fantasies and most don't see what's coming. It will be their challenge. I've had mine. Live well and live proud that you are an American whether in fact or in spirit.
