1. The Saudis benefit from the "old days" when the USA was only

for 'strongmen' who gave big Oil great Oil deals.

Will be fun to see Bush & his pals negotiate & negotiate plans for 'democracy'. Like two robbers - sitting by a pile of cash - and 'sussing' each other out as to how much each of them should get!

Neocon imposed market laws try to make countries pay for any laws they put into place that regulates their markets (and go against corporate interests). The big business wants to dominate each 'separate country'. Instead of imperialism..it is corporatism. I wonder what 'kid gloves' the Saudis are under. Is the US trying to steal their seeds? Will be interesting to see. And a good foil to the demands for free market economy the US makes in real democracies the world over.

How can you slime Venezuela and not complain about the Saudis?

Hypocrisy at every turn.

[merh]

2. Oh, you can bet govner Elephant Babar will be there

to kiss his royal checks. A neo-con, rethug to the 9th degree.
Piratizing and corrupting our state as he slims his way up the ladder of success! :puke:
