You are missing Chalu's point entirely. Saudi Arabia's citizens are in many ways worse off than Cubans. They too cannot criticize their government. And the last time I checked unless you were born a King there isn't much of a chance of being voted into power. Why don't we embargo Saudi products?? Why the double standard??? Vince bau2.uibk.ac.at

Nothing good, I'm sure. Nothing good would happen to you in Saudi Arabia either if you criticized the king. Why does the U.S. give the Saudis money, and embargo Cuba? Could oil money be involved? Are you concerned at all by what is going on in Saudi Arabia, or just Cuba? Tell me what you think of this? amnestyusa.org An interesting snippet from the report: Saudi Arabia does not permit any criticism of the state. All parties or political organizations in Saudi Arabia are illegal. The slightest challenge to official policies arouses the wrath of the government and invariably results in retaliatory action. In almost all cases, that action involves the violation of basic human rights.
