<i.I have been quiet about this, but that slap on the face of a royal, wasn't the most diplomatic thing to do. Thats not how people in Asia and Middle East do things. How can US expect him

You are wrong about that HG. Turning down the check from the Saudi Royal was completely appropriate. We must not show complicity in the denigration of ANY excuse for the events of 9/11.

Guliani did the just and right, Western thing. We are Westerners. We do not have to do things the way that people of the ME do things. The prince was the one out of line, and in NY at ground zero, of all places. What an insult to the West. Where are his manners? Where is his decency, his rules of decorum, his sense of diplomacy? IMO he was setting the USA up and Guliani didn't fall for it.

His lack of compassion for humanity was laid bare on his sleeve. Just as there is little compassion for his own people, he proved that there is even less for Americans.

We are at war, and this is no time for glad handing and pussy footing around issues like 6000 dead people, of which 5500 cannot be found. It must be declared. Ours is a just cause, and the people of the West and it's leaders won't be mocked on the public stage.
