“It never ceases to amaze me how we give billions of dollars of military hardware to a country that produced most of the 911 hijackers, finances schools that preach hatred of Christians and Jews, wants to establish an international Muslim caliphate, wants to finance a victory mosque at Ground Zero, interferes in our media by owning a large chunk of it, arrests women for driving, and forbids visitors from even carrying a personal bible with them for personal use.”
Anarchists are right in their assertion that no government should be trusted; this is an example of why. It should also be noted that the Saudis probably won’t be using any of this stuff; the average Saudi doesn’t work. They tried a program called “Saudization” to lessen their reliance on foreign workers (not just Bengalis & Indians for manual stuff, but also Westerners as engineers, etc.); I’ve never heard that the program was successful. One of the reasons Kuwait fell in one day was that they don’t work, either; in fact, they were brutal in their treatment of their “guest workers” because they hadn’t fought hard enough (if at all)to defend Kuwait against Iraq. I guess all of their imported domestic help was unknowingly enlisted in the Home Guard; they keep a short leash on those workers because of their numbers in comparison to the number of actual Kuwaitis.
For too long the US has allied itself with the Arabs that don’t work; there are many more Arabs in the world that do work.
Interesting way of looking at it.
