Sarah is kidnapped by her father at the age of six and he takes her to his native country, Saudi Arabia. He then forces her into a marriage that was nothing but hell for her and the two children. Her husband beats her and the children on a regular basis and she escapes to the U.S. consulate in Jeddah because she fears for her life and the lives of her children. She wants to leave Saudi Arabia and come to the U.S.........please tell me how Sarah brought all of this on herself. She didn't choose to be kidnapped and she didn't choose to marry an animal.....it was forced upon her.

Sarah's plight is a bad one for sure. Sarah did not bring this on herself - her MOTHER did, that is who I was referring to.

The women marries a Saudi, loses her daughter, then cries over national TV that our government does not "care". Seems like SHE is the one who did not care. This whole episode was a direct result of her marrying a foreigner.

It was well known 22years ago that Saudis kidnap kids. The woman just did not think it would happen to her - thats all.

My biggest gripe is that these women are trying to make the U.S. Government look like the "bad guy" in all of this.

As for Sarah, maybe something can be done, but USA citizens who make bad choices, when they come to uncle sam for help, ought to do it with hat in hand . . .
