Wrong, the Saudi could only object how his money will be used but not dictate the policy of New York State or the US. The Wahabi's are a militant and fundamentalist sect of Islam and Saudi Royal family belongs to that sect. They are the inspiration and guidance of many Islamic terrorist groups ..................and it does not make any sense to have a dialog or to negotiate with terrorists.

Just to remember Arabs only understand the language of power. When King Husein of Jordan realized that the PLO is trying to take over Jordan he started a war what is called Black September and killed around 50,000 people in the process ...since the re is relative quiet in Jordan. Same thing with Assad in Hamah there he killed around 25,000 to 50,000 and leveled the town. Iraq same thing Saudi Arabia does it continuously and so on.

Unfortunate the Western World does not understand that.

As the Saudi prince was tying his $10 million to a press release, the money wasn't really a gift; it was advertising. If he wanted to buy advertising for his cause, let him do it through the usual channels.

Taking the money might have had the appearance of endorsing interest in a policy change in response to terrorism, which is not a good idea. Rudy's response was appropriate.
