Let our people go

Posted: 07/23/02
The other day, Best of the Web had an item about Saudi Arabia not allowing US citizens to leave the country, even though many of them were kidnapped and taken there. This has been a well covered story and Best of the Web links to some previous Opinion Journal items. Instapundit previously linked to this item and noted that there is a planned protest for Thursday outside the Saudi Embassy.

That's all fine and good, but how many of us can get to Washington to picket?

Look, the Saudis need to hear our voices -- all of our voices. The American people are fed up with Saudi arrogance in telling our citizens, who have committed no crimes, how they will live their lives.

Here is the Saudi e-mail address: info@saudiembassy.net . A simple message with a link to the Best of the Web item is all that's needed.

And some phone calls to the Embassy might be in order, as well: (202) 337-4076 or (202) 337-4134.

Let's make our voices heard. Let's send a simple but clear message: "Let our people go." Let's not be nasty or mean or argumentative. Just a clear simple message that the Saudi government is not making friends with the American people by holding our citizens against their will.

Our friends the saudis at it again.
