They're the Jews of Oil.

Another stark irony hangs over the UN special session this week. Saudi Arabia is one of the world's worst abusers of religious freedom, a fact recognized by the Bush administration when it named it a "country of particular concern" under the International Religious Freedom Act in 2004. The king couldn't hold such a conference at home, where conservative clerics no doubt would purge the guest list of Jews from Israel, Baha'is, and Ahmadis.

Yay, someone finally acknowledges us.

Saudis need to

am i late for the Saudi bashing?

It's interesting how there's a very short distance between "we ask respect of you" to "we decide what you can say", isn't it?

Yes there is. There are obvious benefits to religion, but there's a reason why we have secular states here in the west.

 

[Bjerknes]

They're the Jews of Oil.

Pretty much.

I heard that the Saudis have been lying about the amount of crude reserves they have. Apparently they say they have 50% more reserves than they really do, which spells trouble in the long run.

I don't hear Bush calling for democracy now
