Darn !! That was good. I wasn't aware that anyone in Saudi thought like that. The comments were great, too.

Dr. Alnowaiser's comments are most welcome and long overdue. Especially this one: "Sadly, we are still the prisoners of a culture of conspiracy and cultural inferiority." When you want to criticize someone, look in the mirror before you do.

At the same time, it is important to note the fundamental difference between America and all the other societies he referred to. Almost without exception, when America intervenes somewhere, it is for the cause of freedom. Self interest, yes, but the fundamental difference between America and the Soviet Union, the Roman Empire, etc. is that the US genuinely espouses freedom for all people. On this Memorial Day weekend, that makes me prouder than ever to call myself an American.
