WHERE DID YOU GET THAT I HATE BUSH?
My point is that the Saudis have no business telling us how to run our country.
They already discriminate against everyone who isn't a male or Muslim in their own.
Where do they get the nerve to come here and have us compromise our values and standards for them ?
Get over yourself. You are WAAAYY too full of a need to idolize your leader. I want my President to stand for the goodness of this country, not kowtow to some towel head 'lest he offend them.
No, I'm not too full of a need to idolize President Bush. I respect him as a great leader, I like him, I trust him and I know that he will not be telling the press every minute item of the dealings within the government. Why, because the press is another of those trying to destroy him. I am willing to let him run this country and I know and have faith in his decisions. I may not always agree with him - but overall I couldn't ask for a better president.
Second, when Bush travels to another country, his secret service sets the terms of security as they see fit or he will not be going there - the country obliges out of respect for a visiting leader. We do the same. The prince requested the use of male controllers, and out of courtesy, it was accepted. If you don't agree contract the State Department and Colin Powell or the Secret Service or whoever handles security measures. I doubt seriously that Bush made the decision.
Again, it is a nothing issue and only something that those who seek to find fault in Bush would jump on.
