I was reading this just a little while ago. cnn.com Envoy says Saudis stand united with U.S. WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Saudi Arabia stands "as one" with the United States in its war against terrorism, but has not been asked to allow U.S. forces to use bases on its soil, the Saudi ambassador to the United States said Su nday. "Our American friends stood with us in 1990-'91 [during the Gulf War], and we are standing firm with them today in this fight," said Prince Bandar bin Sultan on ABC's This Week. "We are united. We are going after the same enemy, which is the terrorists and whoever harbors or supports them." Responding to reports that U.S. officials were rebuffed when they asked for permission to use the Prince Sultan air base, the ambassador said no such request was made. He said the Saudis have cooperated with all requests the United States has made.

Even Hitler wasn't this bad. Yes he was. Never has there been a slaughter of that magnitude. Six million for the sake of ethnic cleansing. Yes this group is equally sick. Thank God Hitler did not beat us to the atomic bomb. Europe would be in total ruin. Hopefully the terrorists scale will be limited. The only response is force until the enemy is no longer there.

<I fear Judgement Day is drawing close.....Desolation will be their reward > Just a slight reawakening and setting of our priorities right Jeff. I assure you; once these ‘icons of terror’ are dealt with humanity will never allow that what has happened to be repeated, mankind has defied many a worst disasters, we are seeing the efforts of renaissance in 1/3rd of humanity, this will definitely usher them to new vistas, but just don’t forget that Europe did not have its renaissance under the glairing 24 hours coverage of CNN. Imagine you seeing woman being burnt as witches and Voltaire’s books being burnt by mob in Paris the today’s center of global enlightenment just 150 years ago, that would made you much more depressed. We are a part of very unique human phenomenon, our passions and our feelings remains the same but we see events in a way that only God could have seen just at he beginning of this century, the unfolding of global events right before our eyes make every tragedy our backyard tragedy, our living rooms privacy has been shattered, we are part of unique phenomenon, much as we like to keep ourselves isolated we are being pressed everyday with colossal amount of information and global understanding. On one hand it bodes well for future exponential growth in short term it does lend credence to argument that are we approaching the Armageddon, no we are not, we are at cross road to define new virtues and new bridges of understanding. Look back in our human history, every new low in our aggression was followed by a new high in human development, this new low we made will be no otherwise, we will succeed and will flourish. Hope and freedom has always succeeded in face of fascism and death.
