1) Despite the number of terrorists 
that are regulary born on its sacred 
sands, Saudi Arabia is the principle
bastion of West in the Middle East.

It is a democratic monarchy: It sells 
the United States a million-and-a-half 
barrels of oil a day, at low prices, 
and spends $10 million a day on 
high-priced U.S. weapons.

It is a monarchy that loves liberty:
It prohibits political parties and
unions, decapitates or mutilates its
prisoners a la the Taliban, and bars
women from driving or traveling
without the permission of a father or
husband.

Since May of 2000, Saudi Arabia has 
been a member of the United Nations 
Human Rights Commission.

2) The international recognition of
the shining virtues of Saudi Arabia,
which does so much for the 
human rights of its 5,000 princes,
leads me to other awards ......
