I almost fell off my chair laughing when I read this. So this is why after Israel, Egypt is the highest recipient of US aid. It is because US does not like them...and as for Saudi, if they held democratic elections there tomorrow, the economic havoc of converting all their currency from USD and pulling it out would worse than any terrorist attacks AQ could pull off...whos is he kidding when he says we want democracy there? ST "I have the greatest admiration for your propaganda. Propaganda in the West is carried out by experts who have had the best training in the world -- in the field of advertizing -- and have mastered the techniques with exceptional proficiency ... Yours are subtle and persuasive; ours are crude and obvious ... I think that the fundamental difference between our worlds, with respect to propaganda, is quite simple. You tend to believe yours ... and we tend to disbelieve ours." Soviet correspondent based five years in the U.S.
