Brother, you are clueless. This isn't some simple game where you can be cut and dried about who your friends and enemies are. Smart players will extract as much as they can from the Saudis prior to turning against them. Right now, like it or not, we need the Saudis to help hunt down domestic born Al Qaeda, to change their kids literature, to stabilize the oil price, and a host of other things, while we deal with the tougher nuts to crack like Iran. Look you're the one who suggests that two men getting married will destroy the institution of marriage and is an example of this country's moral decay and decline. Yet, you say squat about partner swapping clubs like the one to where the former GOP senatorial candidate from ILL and his wife would go. It seems to me that those clubs do more to threaten the institution of marriage and make a mockery of love and monogamy than gay marriage ever did. Yet the family-in-focus group who is going after the SpongeBob cartoon for being gender ambiguous is strangely mute on swapping clubs. Is it because this is another example of rightie hypocrisy and some of the family-in-focus people are members of those clubs? Am I being too presumptuous? Is it something about which no one talks? Given the confusion, of course, I must seem clueless to you. In reality, however, I am not clueless but just having a hard time following the thinking of this new morality. Even the U.S. can't take on the whole world in one go. We have to perform triage. I see.....for now, we can break bread and screw with the Saudis, but in the future, there will be a big divorce and then we will hate them and invade their country if they don't get democratic asap. Have I got it right now? ted
