One of the reasons why Im not in favor of Lindsey Grahamstyle appeasement is because many of the fellows were trying to stay on the right side of are, not to put too fine a point on it, nuts. Theyre several suras short of a Koran. And attempting to appease loons is an even more forlorn enterprise than attempting to appease the merely evil. Take, for example, our friends the Saudis. Its a wealthy and influential nation. These arent your illiterate Pushtun goatherds. Look at the picture accompanying this fairly typical news story in todays Arab News: State-of-the-art office chairs, and a flat-screen TV. And then read the text:

The case is becoming increasingly clear.
Lindsay Graham simply does not have enough sense to be a U.S. Senator.
And that's a sllllllllllllllooooooooooooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww track.

I guess this is the Islamic answer to America’s 17th century Salem witch trials?
I’d believe it, though, that a lot of “magic” comes from the African continent, and its practitioners would be largely black skinned.

Karzai started this to ‘teach US a lesson.’ Maybe his US paid guards need to show up a few minutes late one day

That's a very funny story!
Do you think we should buy a large bottle of that special Indian medicine man powder for the good Sen. Graham?
I can't think of anything else that might help the poor fellow!
