Presenting, our allies

Man, I love our country. So do a lot of people: just look at our list of allies. They're great, great nations. Sure, some of the have a few small issues - like our Iraqi allies, who A) several years later still have no power or water in many places and B) have an unfortunate tendency to express their desire for us to get the hell out of their nation by killing our soldiers.

But this isn't about the undying wonder of our Iraqi allies. No, I'd like to point out a wonderful little blurb about our buddies the Saudis. It seems that they've sentenced a fourteen-year-old boy to death.

Although he was 13 at the time of the murder, the court treated him as an adult, based on its assessment of the coarseness of his voice and his pubic hair

I'm just so proud to call them allies. Really. I mean, I thought nothing could be the part where the vast majority of the hijackers on September 11 were Saudi (so naturally we proceeded to invade Afghanistan and Iraq, neither of which are, in fact, Saudi Arabia). But now - man, I just love those Saudis.

Go America. Go Saudi Arabia. Go Coalition of the Willing.
