   Ah, the 'Saudi' princes...western puppets who wouldn't be able to get   
   their aircraft into the sky without a US/UK-mediated OK (and certainly   
   not under any conditions if they were to be used against the Zionists)   
   and who would doubtless experience major banking 'difficulties' if they   
   ever started laying down terms to the US. (Just as the Palestinian   
   government is currently finding it hard to operate, owing to its banking   
   difficulties). Sorry Michael Moore...

   What a load of rubbish. The supremacist regimes in Rhodesia and South   
   Africa weren't ANYWHERE NEAR as militarily powerful as the supremacist   
   regime in Israel is. Nor did they run the security at US airports, wield   
   the sort of influence in the US that is symbolised by JINSA or the ADL,   
   run much of the telephone-billing system (Amdocs), etc.
