Which of the various Iranian outrages don't our Saudi allies do?

[yurbud]

There seems to be a rash of stories about human rights abuses in Iran, obviously to whip up feeling for the coming nuking.

But which of these things don't our allies the Saudis do? Suppress women's rights? Suppress religious minorities? (the yellow star in Iran story turned out to be fake anyway)Even support terrorism? Iran supports Hezbollah, mostly active in Lebanon & Israel, but the Saudis gave hundreds of millions to AL QAEDA.

It would be nice to see the mainstream press point this out along side the "let's nuke those disgusting Iranians" stories.

1. Are there Holocaust deniers in Saudi Arabia?

I thought a Saudi prince (I know there are a lot of them) said something to that effect in the past year.

3. they have all that anti-Semitic stuff in their textbooks

that the news covered after 9/11 until Bush did the switch part of bait and switch.

2. You are right!

Saudi Arabia has done and said equally horrendous things in the recent past. One place "Freedom" will never march is into the Saudi Arabia.

4. If I am not mistaken, SA prohibits the playing of the Wilhelm Tell

Overture as well as La Marsaillaise. I guess aural imagry of angry peasants arising against the evil pseudoaristocrats gets their goat...

5. Yeah, William Tell overture sounds like peasants running faster than

royal family could waddle or be carried on a litter.

6. Which ones doesn't America do? n/t

7. **PETITION AGAINST MILITARY ACTION AGAINST IRAN**

It is with grave concern that I observe the growing threat of a new U.S. war--this time against the people of Iran.

For a collection of articles and resources on this subject you can visit this link: http://reseaudesign.com/research/iran/iran_summery.html

I'm starting up a petition which I will be sending out to as many members of Congress as possible. I'm asking for help to get this signed by as many people, possible in the next month. Send it to as many people you can.
