"Show me just what Mohammed brought that was new, and there you will find things only evil and inhuman, such as his command to spread by the sword the faith he preached." -Manuel II Paleologus
These guys pump a good bit of the worlds oil.
We consume a good bit of the world's oil.
We do what we can to keep them happy.
If we want to end our support of their salvery, we need to end our own.
They didn't receive "special treatment". The guy is in jail. The King (leader) of a foreign country and an ally of ours wanted to know why this happened, and the State Department asked the attorney general of the state to explain it to them.
He got a good, all-expenses paid trip, and told them exactly why their man deserved to be in jail for 28 years.
I can understand arguing that the state department probably shouldn't spend our tax dollars on this, although that's true of MUCH of what the state department does (mollifying our allies around the world, along with most of our enemies), but I see NO REASON to attack the Colorado Attorney General for this, he stood his ground and explained how our justice system works.
I think Debbie simply misunderstood the entire event, or else she's really trying to mislead us.
