Will Saudis Ban the Letter ‘X'?

Submitted by Dale Netherton, Jan 15, 2007 12:55

For the United Staes to condone and appease this obvious barbarian culture speaks volumes for our lack of ability to recognize violations of individual rights. No wonder our rights are disappearing daily. If this is what the United States government passes off as diplomacy, why not just openly announce we will only stand up for that which somebody else thinks is okay ( especially if it contradicts the founding principles of our republic).
