No. I'm damn proud to be American. But when stuff like this comes out it just makes me wonder what happens with our money that we put into the hands of people in the Middle East.
Of course Bush is going to say we like Saudi Arabia and their government and we are allies. It's cause of oil.
The problem is that your are blindly following Bush. Ever consider oil as a reason why we are such good friends with countries like Kuwait and Saudi Arabia? Why the hell would we want to help liberate Kuwait from Saddam's invasion back in the early 90's? OIL! There's a reason why we are still friends with all these countries. And it's oil. Why else would we give so much money to Kuwait? So we can keep buying their oil.
The Saudi government and our government are great friends, no doubt about it. They would easily be considered allies, but the liking for America stops there. A LOT of the Saudi people don't like us and the government has been linked to funding terrorism as well.
Here's an article from 2003 from the Los Angeles Times:
http://www.truthout.org/docs_03/080303A.shtml KK: I wish I could say this isn't true but I've heard it many other places and it's all legit.
FYI: We've also supplied weapons and to none other then Mr. Osama bin Laden himself when we didn't want the USSR to take over Afghanistan back in the 70's.
And I hope you a bit about al Qaeda too...
