    Saudi Arabia is starting to "Get it" —John Neal
   (URL) is very encouraging. Perhaps the US and Israel *aren't* the root of all evil after all.... JOHN (21 years ago, 20-May-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

     (...) Why don't you take your facetious little poll in Arab countries? Maybe it won't be so easy after all. JOHN (21 years ago, 21-May-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
    
         Re: Saudi Arabia is starting to "Get it" —Richard Marchetti
     (...) What? Would that be like stupid Saudis beleiving all the nonsense their government/right-wingers tells them? Gee, where else do citizens exhibit that behavior? And anyway, unless I am mistaken about the nationality of the more frequent posters (...) (21 years ago, 21-May-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

     This might prove useful here: "Time to Question the US Role in Saudi Arabia" (URL) in truth, we are long overdue in examining this relationship.] -- Hop-Frog (21 years ago, 21-May-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
   
        Re: Saudi Arabia is starting to "Get it" —Scott Arthur
   (...) John, will you cite any rag which supports your [narrow] point of view? Have you read the other items on that site? Are they "very encouraging" too? (...) What would you say is the "root of all evil"? Greed? Power? Religious extremism? Envy? (...) (21 years ago, 21-May-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

        Re: Saudi Arabia is starting to "Get it" —Richard Marchetti
     (...) I think that first sentence is an overstatement. Israel does not have clean hands, nor does the U.S. We are not as bad as some, but we are hardly innocent any longer. In fact, we (the U.S.) are brazenly guilty of atrocities. The U.S. operates (...) (21 years ago, 21-May-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)

        Re: Saudi Arabia is starting to "Get it" —Scott Arthur
   (...) You assume I disagree? (...) I'll take that as a "no". I must confess to liking this: (URL) (...) Do you have any evidance which supports that? WW2 was largly a christian effort; the result was 60 million dead. Extreme interpretations of Islam (...) (21 years ago, 21-May-03, to lugnet.off-topic.debate)
