Most of us realize, if not acknowledge that Saudi Arabia backs terrorists as much as any country. I would go so far as to say that Saudi Arabia is financially responsible for many terrorist acts. I have no proof. Yes, Bush and Powell are hypocrites in not denouncing them as an "Axis of Evil".
Last night I got steamed, and I attacked you personally as well as for your views. For that I apologize.
Foreign policy it seems, is made of the same stuff as political platforms. If they believe they'll get more votes by acting a certain way, they'll do it.
Those oppressed peoples you mentioned before are not in the limelight and therefore can not aid Bush or his supporters in the public eye. The public only has time to see what the media has allowed it.
We few staunch, independent and principled people (no matter our views of the middle east), are no match for that constant bombardment on the public. And thus on those that crave the masses acceptance.
Yes, our foriegn policy is riddled with hypocrisy. What you say and suggest is undoubtedly true. At least to me.
Keep fighting the good fight. Or at least your version of it. I'll do the same. Good luck.
