Saudi preachers -- and not just the paid lapdogs of the corrupt Saudi royal family -- are condemning the attacks on foreigners in Saudi Arabia. That makes a nice change. Still, Americans, Brits and others are being attacked, killed and taken hostage and certainly anyone with a heart feels for their families and prays for the safe release of anyone still alive. The Times of London reports, unsurprisingly, that many Brits living there are suddenly taking "vacation time" and getting out. Here's the insensitive question. What the hell were they doing there in the first place? This is a country that enslaves half its population (namely women) under draconian laws, financially supports terrorism all over the world and preaches hatred in its state-run schools, using anti-Semitic rhetoric to keep the increasingly unhappy populace under its thumb. I for one would be ashamed to do business in that country and would gladly take on serious hardships to avoid giving any money to its evil government. Ten percent of our oil comes from Saudi Arabia. Why does any of it?
