Not appeasing....overlooking a friend's erratic behaviour in context of the broader picture...

Not defending him at all. I said - simply ignore it in favour of a broader alliance. Saudi was an ally, so sometimes we gotta overlook a friends mistakes...

Now if you DONT think Saudi is an ally, which I don't think it is, well, I'd get the hell out of their country and bomb Bin Ladin's fund raisers when I decide to broaden the conflict.

<puff puff>

You can't call them friends and then insult them. If they are doing it, they're wrong. Why would you want to lower yourself to their standard ? What would that achieve anyway ?

If the American public feels so strongly, well, a better message to the govt is - Pull out the forces from Saudi and lump them with the rest. THATs a better strategy than this floundering "Loves Me Loves Me Not" dithering.

I get your point and i agree with it in principle....i hope you understand what i mean.....

Of course I could ask "How is this different than Bush's comment about the recent killings in India ? ", but nah...I'll just drop it !

I am in no confrontation kinda mood today. <g>
