Screw the Saudi's!!

We should write a history book so people will know how this Saudi, Jordan, Israel triangle came to be and why Jordan's safety is paramount to the life of Israel. This is going to get mighty interesting. Mighty interesting.

Not to be outdone Holland, which after the United States is the most pro-Israel country, has many of its “cultured” citizens send support mail. Here is one from a Mr. Blieng: “God Bless Holland, Israel and the Jewish people, Shalom.”

Just out of curiosity, when did Holland become so pro-Israel? I was never aware of that rep, and I'm not sure if he's right or not.

And btw, what is so objectionable about that last comment?

It is not bias, it is knowing that Saudi Arabia finances terrorists the world over.
It is knowing that Saudi Arabia wants the protection of the US, but does nothing to help the US.
It is the knowledge that most terrorists originate in Saudi Arabia.
It is the fact that Wahhabism is practiced in Saudi Arabia and the fundamentalist sickos Taliban represents this sect.
It is the fact that Saudi sends their kids to the US for education and then complain about the US.
Is the fact that most of the hi-jackers on 9/11 were from Saudi Arabia as is Bin-Ladin and his family and money.
It is because Saudi Arabia has refused to stop the flow of terrorist money.
It is because the Saudis like taking our money and protection but do nothing to reciprocate.
It is due to the fact that you expect our service people in our military to wear your damn burkas.

The people here in The United States of America have had it with the Saudis.
You don't call the shots at all, we do. If you don't think so, try us.
Your "poor" Muslim friends in the Taliban are getting what they deserve as will all like them.
The Afghans were brutalized for years by the Taliban and you said NOTHING.
Now you are worried about the Afghans?
Don't make me laugh.
We know you speak out of both sides of your mouth and have no loyalties, are untrustworthy and complete phonies.

Take your oil and stick it.
We really don't need it. American enterprise, ingenuity and resolve will solve any fuel problems we may encounter.
We can dig our own, buy from the Russians, Mexico and anywhere else except Saudi Arabia.
Then you can all go back to living in tents without a pot to piss in.

I sent the above email to the irritated one.

Holland is a capitalist outpost in socialist Europe they have been relatively free of anti-semitism so they support Israel.

"Since Sept. 11, there is all this anti-Saudi bias in the US," complains Khlood Al Sheikh, a student at Jeddah's King Abdul Aziz University, as she sits in a cafe at a posh new mall. "What makes it worse is that Americans are so convinced they are right."

Convince me I am wrong Ms. al Sheikh.
Can I bring my Christian bible into Riyahd and go to a public park and read it peacefully?
On Sunday, can I walk to the nearest Christian church and attend services?

You may answer me c/o Free Republic...
