(OT) Tomas, The difference I believe, is that Saudi Arabians hold no slaves nor engage in mass murder as does the armies and militias of the GOS (Now there may be some indentured servants from the Philippines and Indonesia). The GOS actively engages in terrorism- just implicated this week in the effort to bomb the US Embassy in India.

Saudi Arabia commits no acts of terrorism. And yes King Fahd and Saudi Arabia joined with President Reagan and the US in a plan in 1983 to bring down the USSR- which worked. For that America owes Saudi Arabia a debt of gratitude.

As for the Christian Right being hypocritical for not condemning the Saudi Government- not that I'm their spokesperson, but condemn the Saudis for what? Yes Saudi Arabia practices a monotheistic culture that officially excludes Christianity. But Christians (except if you're foolish enough to put "LDS" or "Mormon" as your religion on your passport- The origin of that restriction comes from a hilarious oilfield story which I'll send you offline if you' like) move freely in Saudi Arabia- I've been there.

And Christian missionaries I believe still try to go into Saudi Arabia....
