| EFL & Buttloads of Fun! The bombing that killed 17 people in the Saudi capital is intensifying pressure for democratic reform in Saudi Arabia, and is likely to undercut the militants’ support among Arabs who previously sympathized to some degree with their goals. Democratic reform has long been underway in Soddy Arabia. At least in theory. This is one reason we are pulling our troops from thier country. If they do attempt these reforms, and our troops are stationed there it gives the appearance of being orchestrated by the United States government. Nevertheless, I have to commit to hanging by my thumbs. While some have 4, 3, 2, 1, ... rejoiced over Saturday’s suicide car bombing, many in the Arab world are shocked [shocked I tell you!] that it targeted That’s because Arabs and Muslim are innocent. Do I smell a voice of reason...? Khalid al-Sultan, 32, a catering company employee, called it "un-Islamic." Abdul-Rahman al-Sheikh, a 41-year-old businessman, said al-Qaida militants are "not only a threat to the people in the kingdom but also a threat to humanity and our peaceful religion." As he spoke a .45mm slug could be heard whistling by his head...Just when it looked promising... That feeling was not universal, however. In Saudi Arabia and elsewhere, many Arabs have fallen back on conspiracy theories about America and Israel engineering the bombing — or at least letting it happen — in order to ‘Fallen back on conspiracy theories’? Hmm, that would imply that for a period of time they had moved forward towards reason? "I have the feeling that those who did it can’t be Muslims. Nope can’t be. Not us. Move along. Nothing to see here.... Why not Americans?" Ah ha! lawyer Fatma Lasheen said in Cairo. "The American Embassy closed the day of the operation. And if not, why didn’t they foil this operation if they knew about it? Don’t you think it is strange?" Yes, indeed it is very strange. Sniff, sniff something stinks in here....Do you smell something? |

Sorry, due to budget cuts, the CIA's Farsight Program remote psychic viewers couldn't determine the exact location of the bombings in Ridyadh. That or the Mossad's agents had their psychic dampers on. |

| #5 Fifty lashes with limp democratic party rhetoric. That's it, I'm calling the Hague. Nobody deserves that, even double-posters. |

| #3 Dar, that sounds painful. Can the punishment still be applied if the victim has been to the Sudan recently? ;) |
