Feeling Frisky

So there you have it. America has long classified Iran, Sudan, Syria and, for some reason, Cuba (which has many faults, but even so) as "states sponsoring terrorism". But only now is she going to bother checking out their passport-holders at her airports. What was that about how much stronger against terrorism Clinton and Bush were, or the other Clinton and McCain would have been? And speaking of the Clintons and the Bushes, what, no Saudi Arabia? Why ever not...?

    They wouldn't even if be fisked if there were a Clinton, a Bush, or John McCain in the White House.

    And will all Saudis be subject to this, anyway? Surely not the al-Sauds themselves? Or the Binladens (as they spell it, as if that were fooling anyone), considering how they were treated on and immediately after 9/11...

    Then again, there is neither a Clinton nor a Bush in the Oval Office these days, and the Saudis were as whipped as the Israel Lobby both in the Democratic primaries and in the Presidential Election. So you never know.
