How about b/c Chavez just barks while the Saudis bite?

I think that opinion in the United States is decidedly different from the rest of the world because we have a free press -- by free, I mean a virgorously presented right wing point of view on the air and available to all.- Ned -
How about because you know that some of the money that goes to Chavez will be used to help poor Americans heat their homes, because unlike the Saudis, he gives charity to poor Americans.Christianity: The belief that a cosmic Jewish Zombie who was his own father can make you live forever if you symbolically eat his flesh and telepathically tell him you accept him as your master, so he can remove an evil force from your soul that is present in humanity because a rib-woman was convinced by a talking snake to eat from a magical tree...Comment

Setting aside that particular publicity stunt by Chavez,
Chavez's Venezuela > Saudi Arabia.
The email in the OP is funny, or would be if it wasn't just the sort of thing that various members of my family would totally fall for.

Bull****. That Saudis have done nothing, not a damn thing, to stop the flow of Jihadis into Iraq. And it was SAUDI money that paid for the 9/11 operation, not Venezuelan or Iranian.Originally posted by DinoDoc
I don't really care about terrorism as it realates to foreign policy. If a country is actively attempting to undermine our interests abroad and making common cause with our enemies, I fail to see why they should be regarded as somehow cleaner than a country that didn't attack us despite Lonestar's and others assertions that they did.
Hey, I forget, how many Venezuelan foreign fighters are there in Iraq? Afghanistan?(I'm going to go out on a Limb and say "None")
How many acts of terror has Venezuela pulled off within the United States?
For that matter, how many acts of terror has Iran pulled off within the United States?
Compared to the Saudi Royals tripping all over themselves funding Al-Qaeda?

The Saudis who crashed the planes into our buildings were doing so, purportedly, in anger at our support of the govt of KSA, among other things. While we can argue the prudence of such support, it seems a little silly to blame the govt of Saudi Arabia for the actions of people whod like nothing better than to bring down the govt of Saudi Arabia, and who have murdered citizens and security forces in Saudi Arabia.Originally posted by Lonestar
Oh, wait, I know this one:

US citizens have been giving money.
Because the Saudi Royal Family has.
The royal family is a pretty big gang of people, some of whom hate each other violently. Right now the ones who are anti-AQ are in charge, and the Saudi govt has been fighting against pro-AQ elements. Theyve also attended the US sponsored Peace Summit at Annapolis.
Im not going to minimize how challenging the Saudi domestic situation is, but to say that the KSA govt is more hostile to us than the govt of Venezuala is not an accurate reflection of the facts."A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human.

B. Lord of the Mark does NOT give money to Catholic World Relief
C. Lord of the Mark is an American
If B and C are true, does that mean A is false?"A person cannot approach the divine by reaching beyond the human. To become human, is what this individual person, has been created for.” Martin BuberComment
