What message does it send when Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah calls the U.S. presence in Iraq an "illegitimate foreign occupation"?The King of Saudi Arabia has hammered one more nail in the coffin of Bush foreign policy. When your good friends turn on you, there's nowhere to hide. Impeach Bush and Cheney.

The message is "Get out now!" The diverse Arab nations of the region know that genocide is taking place. They will produce relative calm after a short shake-out period. Back off and let them have a try. Things couldn't be any worse.

I think it means he doesn't want to hold hands with George Bush anymore.
-BobThe U.S. should welcome the steps taken by the Saudis, no matter what Abdullah calls the occupation. And don't kid yourself, it is an occupation. On the surface, it would appear that the Saudis are willing to lead the Arab nations in an effort to police themselves, hopefully ending the occurrence of such things as the Iraq war. Just imagine how many lives and how much money would have been saved if these steps were taken some time ago to rein in Saddam Hussein?

Should illegal immigrants be able to drive legally in the U.S.? Jack, What part of illegal don't you understand? No, they should not be allowed to drive. They should not enjoy any privileges in America that citizens do. Period!
-Mike, Sebring, FloridaNot even a bicycle! Twice we have been t-boned by our little friends from south of the border: one carload fled the scene, the other just cost us a $35,000 vehicle and left us with injuries. And that's just me. How often does this occur to others in the U.S.?
-Cliff, Tampa, FloridaI am from the state of Illinois and do not agree with the passing of the bill in the House that is allowing illegal aliens to have driving privileges. If they are not legal in the country, then they should not have these privileges... Where do we draw the line? It seems that this opens the door even wider for terrorists to enter and do their terrorizing.
-RosalieIs it a waste of time to expect the United Nations to gain the release of Britain's captives from Iran?I don't think it's a waste of time to expect the United Nations to actually succeed once in a while. I think actually that if they could gain the release of the British troops it could help out the image of the organization. I'll keep my fingers crossed on this one. -
Gene, Appleton, WisconsinWhat whines constantly, talks a lot but says nothing meaningful, burns money, doesn't pay parking tickets, has a large military that isn't allowed to do anything and is the cause of several hundred thousand deaths a year? No, it isn't Congress but close. The United Nations in action! Don't worry hostages, the U.N. will get right on your situation.
-Jake, Lantana, TexasIt's a big waste of time. The lack of the West's understanding of the Middle East shows through every time something like this happens. The only way to take care of this is for the U.K. to engage the Iranians directly. They don't have to admit to anything but they do need to engage them face to face.
-Glen, Haymarket, VirginiaGoing to the U.N. is like asking convicted murderers to sit on the parole board in hopes of reducing the number of parolees. You know it won't work just by looking at the characters involved.
