Voice from the Commonwealth Commentary, World Views and Occasional Rants from a small 'l' libertarian in Massachussetts
"If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace. We seek not your council nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen." - Samuel Adams

"Your blog is bullshit"- anonymous angry French reader.
I'm not sure I like what the President had to say about his meeting with Prince Abdullah. Alittle too long on praise and short on questions. You know: What information do you guys have on the 15 of your nationals that murderd 3,000 Americans? What information do you have on other Saudis giving money to Bin Laden? Why do your papers, religious leaders and diplomats constantly praise terrorist attacks and spread libel and slander about Americans and Jews? What are you going to do about funding the schools and mosques that spread and preach hatred while being funded by your nation? Why are you personally silent on all of this?
Maybe it is a good sign Abdullah didn't talk to the press afterwards. I know Bush has to be diplomatic and I hope he was talking like this to the press corps because he reamed Abdullah in private while out in the pick-up. I really hope he doesn't believe that he is establishing any type of personalbond with Abdullah, that is just a little too reminiscient of LBJ's assertion that all he really needed to do was have a one-on-one talk with Ho Chi Min. I have to believe that Rumsfeld, Cheney and Rice will make sure he is not under any illusions about that.
