You're hung up on fatherhood issues.

That's not what this is about. It's about human rights, the same rights you and I have to pursue the right to happiness. That daughter still has rights as an American citizen, which she wants to exercise. There is no comparison of the medieval state of Saudi Arabia and the Constitutional Republic of the US.

Why are you such an apologist for a country which is notorious for its discrimination and subjugation of women ? Why should not these childrren have the same opportunities for freedom that so many advocated for Elian Gonzalez, especially as they have a legal right to them due to the lack of rights in marriage, in freedom to travel, the freedom to work out her destiny as an American citizen which was denied to their mother?

Elian was on US soil for one. Would you like to see some Marines be killed going in and taking Sarah's Arab children out of Saudi?

I very much doubt Sarah's mother was forced to marry an Arab and she wasn't forced to send Sarah to a foreign country in the first place. The entire blame falls on that mother who abandoned her little girl to that country and was so stupid to marry the way she did in the first place.
