Saudi Arabia: Not a lick of sense

Love the article by this "opinion maker": Of Pots, Kettles and Other Shams

the money quote:

Freedom is a quality much prized by the Americans, but apparently not to be enjoyed by others.

yeah, uh, you're from saudi arabia. This is your stance on freedom:

(from an interview with a Saudi Official)

Q: "Is this evolution (of the saudi state) leading, eventually, to a Western type democracy?"

A: "No. It could lead to more popular participation in all levels, but it is unlikely to culminate in a Western democracy. In democracy, the elected parliament ranks supreme. It can make anything legal illegal, and vice-versa.”

“In Islam what God specified as Haram (illegal), or Halal (legal), cannot be changed by any parliament, or even by the whole population. These imperatives of right and wrong in Islam are unchangeable."

right. more quotes:

So as you see the charred bodies of US soldiers being pulled from burning APCs in Iraq, remember that, thanks to Bush, Warren Buffet pays less taxes proportionately than his own secretary and certainly less than any US serviceman or woman.

Ain’t democracy great?

Yup, the inability to change unjust laws is just fine in saudi arabia. all taxes are fair, punishments are just and hey! at least its not democratic. he ends off in referring to British voters saying:

Apparently they will believe anything.

Apparently, your problem is obvious.
