Quote of the Day by Jim Robinson

[LibertyLight]

Thank you for posting this crucially serious matter.
What can we do? I know that we must pray for God's protective hand to take care and make the way for this mother and her children to return to America.
Can all the FReepers write, call, fax the President, American Consulate, etc...?
I think we really truly need to do all possible to help this woman.
May God's hand of freedom swoop her and her children from the evil Saudi system...PLEASE HELP AND PRAY FOR SARAH!

[Banjoguy]

Send in a chopper and pick her up....

I am sorry, but this story would fit for assylums and dissidents. Why wouldn't it work for US citizens?

Tell me this is not true.

Sara was on the phone this morning during Fox and Friends. She told E.D. Hill she will live in that room at the Consulate FOREVER, rather than leave her children behind. She says the US Consulate workers let the Saudis into her BEDROOM without her permission where they intimidated her into signing a paper. She vows to die there before she leaves her children.

The State Dept has told Sara's mom that the US Government will not pay for food for Sara or her children while they are in the consulate, so she (Sara's mom) needs to send money to Sara. I have written Fox asking them if there is any way that anyone who cares about this woman and her bravery can help - if there is an account or trust for her and her children to help them survive until they can get back home to America.

When Elian was returned to Cuba, Clinton and Reno were cursed incessantly.

Elian was not an American.

These are Americans. They are being held hostage. Agents of a hostile foreign power are being allowed to operate and intimidate Americans in an American Embassy.

Is there nothing Bush can do to lose your support?

[Alouette]

Birthdays aren't celebrated in Saudi Arabia. They consider it a Western holiday. When I met my daughters in a hotel room in Riyadh eight years ago, Aisha didn't even know her correct age. I brought Alia a "Sweet Sixteen" birthday card as a present, but she was perplexed by it all.

American mothers! Don't allow your daughters to date Saudis!

[MississippiMan]

Where in the HECK is Bush on this?

[Reagan is King]

I think all this story needs is publicity to get settled. O'Reilly, Rush and Hannity could stir up the pot enough that the Saudi's would want a quiet ending to this mess.

[Shooter 2.5]

What would happen if she married one of the Marine Guards?

[MinuteGal]

I sure hope President Bush does something about this situation pronto before Jesse Jackson decides to go to Saudi Arabia to save the day.

[tuna_battle_slight_return]

Our friends, the Saudi's.........

[af_vet_rr]

You must not have gotten the e-mail about how the Saudis are our friends. I know this to be true, the President and others in the government have said this repeatedly.

/sarcasm off

[technochick99]

This calls for Janet Reno.

[expatguy]

Sara Saga is only of the THOUSANDS of AMERICANS who have had to experience this same problem in Muslim countries.

[pttttt]

This shows what we are dealing with with Saudi Arabia. On the other hand, any American woman who marries a Saudi man or a man from another Muslim country is terminally stupid. That's something no government can outlaw.

But it's too bad for the snatched kids, who in many cases are raised as Americans and then yanked into a barbaric, pre-medieval culture.
