>>>just shows Americans are no better than Arabs.<<<

I believe I started this debate by addressing the very appropriate question of whether given Hugo Chazev's provocative comments at the UN last week, that the US could or should retaliate.

Then I gave my opinion that the anti Westernism was out of hand. While I haven't changed my opinion, I regret relating that opinion because we have gotten quite off topic.

One can be legitimately concerned about a "new OPEC" organized against the West along religious and political lines and intent upon using oil as a weapon.

Having said all that, lets say on topic.

Ok, Ok. The BBR is a place to not only talk about the oil industry, but also to have a little fun. Political Correctness is NOT a goal of the BBR. A few jokes about most any group, sex, or even Texans is ok by me. I suggest that if some of you are too thin-skinned that you find somewhere else to hang out.

That being said, this is NOT a place for personal attacks, name calling, or the consistent promotion of an agenda. That will get you banned pronto.

In my opinion, this wave of political correctness has gone way too far in our culture...in the BBR we like a joke now and then. If you (not you personally, Mr. Wyatt) don't, then as they say...change the channel.
