Look, America has to face reality if they don’t want to fight terrorism for the next 100 years. You’re going to kill bin Laden, you’re going to kill the Taliban, but you’re going to have tens of bin Ladens and tens of Talibans coming. What took place in New York should never, never ever happen again. But it is going to happen again, God forbid, if we don’t look at the roots of the problem. This could have been said by any western leader and would have been acceptible. Think about it.

An indictment of Prince Alwaleed bin Talal might be a good first step to educate him that he is dealing with Americans, not Saudis, and siezing assets and barring entry into the country would be attention-getters. However, the begging of the Atlanta Congresswoman makes it apparent that no politician in this country other than Giuliani has the cojones and integrity to do anything. They are easily bought. But, you can't buy us all. We consumers buy Prince Al Waleed products ... and we can stop immediately. modon.com Until those companies make statements disavowing Prince Al Waleed, we can keep his hand out of our pockets. That would get his attention. That is a strategy that works, regardless of the inefficiency and pay-offs of our politicians. It may be the only strategy that works.
