I hadn't thought about it much before 9-11, but our relation to the Saudis is really, really degrading. They are the worst kind of despots - the epitome of what our Founding Fathers most abhorred.

I think Giuliani has created a symbol that's going to make that relationship harder - this tough scrapper of a mayor, the grandson of immigrants, from a working class family, who got where he is by his own hard work - turning down 10 million from a Saudi fatcat princeling.

turning down 10 million from a Saudi fatcat princeling.

A Saudi fatcat princeling with a guilty conscience, if you ask me.
