Arabs give our colleges money because they're alums, and like a lot of alums, have very fond memories of their college days. Besides, their sons and grandsons are also attending. That, and they've got tons and tons of money.

Bush understands - he'd never have been accepted at Yale if he hadn't been a Bush, with his grades. People with lots of money are special! He had all the bin Ladens flown out of the country when the rest of America couldn't fly after 9/11. The Saudis are HIS type of people. Why don't you get it?

"If memory serves me, A&M was only funded $1 Million by King Fahd"

$1.5 million. Not important because neither sum would pay for the campus there.
