If we're gonna do this liberation thing right we should start at the top...China. After all, that would liberate BILLIONS of people. Much more efficient. Somebody get the CEO on the line and run the figures by him.

<< Tell me, does Saudi Arabia vote for its King? >>

Saudi Arabia is a cruel dictatorship, that is especially brutal towards women. Saudi Arabian government is repressive, corrupt, and openly support terrorism. Most of the terrorists who attacked America, on Sept 11, were from Saudi Arabia.

<< Why are we not liberating them? We can't use the USSR argument now, can we? >>

I am sorry, but you are sooooo dense.

There are many reasons why we may be forced to deal with dictators. Sometimes we have no other choice. I would love to see democracy in Saudi Arabia. WOULD YOU?

How would you free the people of Saudi Arabia? Of China? Of Syria? Of Libya?

All of the Arab nations are brutal dictatorships. Most people in these nations get forced fed the Koran for their education. MAD magazine would be a better educational tool. The people, like the Palestinians, are kept ignorant, antiChristian, Jewish and Hindu, all to keep their corrupt Governments and Mullahs in business.

There is not a simple solution. WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
