Let me get this straight. You want me to help spread the word of how a blogger is in jail for what he said? Why should I? He lives in a country of cowards who won’t stand up to a family that has produced swine like Osama.
Why should I have anything to do with a country that supports terrorism around the world and at the same time asks that the rest of the world protect it from people like Sadam?
History teaches us one thing when it comes to freedom. It has only one currency to purchase it…BLOOD. My grandfathers and the people with them paid for my freedom with their blood as I would have gladly done for my loved ones. I’m sick and tired of countries in the middle east saying “here let me hold your coat while you die for my freedom”. We should be telling you to drink your oil and finding another way to get it. When I see the Saudi people dieing in the news to free their people who dared to speak up against this evil family, then and only then will I do or say anything to help. So stop your whining, pick up a gun and then you can say you have joined the modern world and are worth saving.
