Are We that *&%! Up?

I apologize for not posting for the last couple of weeks. I have been overwhelmed by some matters that I need to take care of. In addition to stressing out about my own personal and school related issues, the news that has been flying around lately about Saudi Arabia’s possible involvement in Iraq are quite disturbing (got to make use of acquired weapons right?). The so-called increasing tensions between Iran and Saudi Arabia are self-inflicted and made possible through an unimaginable amount of greed and sick desire for territorial, economic and religious expansion from both sides. In addition, the dosage of Sunni is superior to Shiite and Shiite is superior to Sunni poison, abundantly injected into the minds of our populations, is at an all time high. How did we reach this level? What is it that we can do to stop this insanity? Or is it even possible?

+ Happy New Year. It is 1428!

Saudi Arabia in 2006

I don’t think it is too late for this: I am collecting news articles and reports about Saudi Arabia during the year 2006 for a post (or a series of posts) which summarizes some of the important happenings in Saudi Arabia in 2006. So if you think that there is a certain incident, person, or information which deserves to be on this list, please email it to me or post it in the comment section.

Some deserve to be ruled by a dictator…

No this is not a joke.

After reading many posts which proclaim that Saddam was a martyr, a hero, a lion, and a symbol of courage, I am inclined to say that such persons deserve to be treated as a property and stripped out of their dignity because they don’t have one to begin with.

And about the execution itself, Sandmonkey hit the nail right on the head!

Meanwhile, a key observation is made…
