Our American Values

I think it's interesting the past week saw a woman beheaded by sword in Saudi Arabia as well as many women jailed for the crime of 'driving a car' in the same country. How is it that we sell this country sophisticated weaponry and military aircraft and our previous president has been photographed holding hands with their current King Abdullah and the current President has been photographed bowing to him yet we harang China on their lack of respect for 'human rights'.

We want our American 'values' insituted worldwide UNLESS OF COURSE they have that precious 'black gold'. Then they can treat women anyway they want and our president will hold their hand, kiss their cheek or bow to their King. Next thing you know, we'll be kissing their King's ass (oops! I guess we already are......)
