I wonder if Bush is gonna to find a horses head in his bed after his visit to Saudi Arabia?
King me! 'For us to say that you can't have a democracy if you've got a king is just not right.' President Bush in Saudi Arabia 15 Jan 2008 In Riyadh today, the president [sic] participated in a traditional sword dance with one of the princes of the royal family. It was a public -- and a little awkward -- display of affection, all part of Bush's first visit to Saudi Arabia. The president sat down with "Nightline" at one of the vast royal palaces... The president defended his support of undemocratic regimes in countries such as Saudi Arabia. "The American president doesn't come and lecture somebody... And as I told you, his majesty is, he is modernizing his society. Is it going to meet somebody's standards sitting in Washington, D.C.? Probably not overnight. Can it eventually? Yes.… And for us to say that you can't have a democracy if you've got a king is just not right." [Submitted by CLG reader, Chip.]
