Prince Says Terrorists Were Deluded
Saudi Arabia's Deputy Prime Minister said Tuesday the Saudi men who took part in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks were "enticed and deluded" into committing their crimes and did great damage to Islam. Ummm... Yeah. You might say that... Crown Prince Abdullah, who runs the day-to-day affairs of the kingdom, said in letter to President Bush and the American people that the Saudi Arabian people felt "great pain" after realizing that many Saudis were responsible. We could tell. Well, I mean, when we looked close and all... Their reasoning was subverted to the degree of "denying the tolerance that their religion embraced, and turning their backs on their homeland, which always stood for understanding and moderation," Abdullah wrote. Maybe you should have some of those preachers in Mecca explain it to them? "We, like you, are convinced that nothing can ever justify the shedding of innocent blood or the taking of lives and the terrorizing of people, regardless of whatever cause or motive," Abdullah wrote. He reaffirmed the continued will and determination of the Saudi government "to do our utmost to combat this malignant evil and uproot it from our world." Best get on the stick. When Iraq's out of the way, we'll be standing in the rubble, looking around... He added that he shall never forget "the horrible scenes of carnage, the raging fires, the smoke that covered the horizon, and the innocent people who jumped out of the windows in their attempt to escape. On that fateful day, the whole world stood with the American people in unprecedented solidarity that made no distinction as to race, religion or language." For about twelve hours...
