Oh, that country whose rulers are CLOSE PERSONAL friends of the Bushes...THAT country????
I wondered who would take the posting into kookoo land first.. I'm not surprised its a liberal..
I though it was good to be friends with leaders of other countires, isnt that the excuse the liberals used to explain Obama and Chavez, and bowling to the king of Saudi Arabia..
Saudi Arabia is a retrograde society and a feudal kingdom. Women may be treated as slaves and/or livestock. They are nothing but a support system for over age spoiled little boys.
Saudi Arabia is a complete pile of ----. That is the country we should have invaded instead of Afghanistan or Iraq.
A Saudi Arabian judge has told a seminar on domestic violence that it is okay for a man to slap his wife for lavish spending, a local newspaper reported yesterday.
Its called Cultural Relativism, maybe if you went to college you would have learned about it. There is no moral absolutism, for you to infer judgment upon a different culture is mere arrogance, a remnant of cultural imperialism.

but isn't it part of American culture to criticize other cultures? how can we judge someone who merely operates with the morality of his culture? How far does moral relevance extend? can we criticize the national socialists for their actions or we must we only judge them in their self-determined context? does moral relativism extend beyond societies to individuals? should we extend all the way to moral nihilism?
I'm sure glad at my college no one would kill arguments by saying "there is no moral absolutism, for you to infer judgment upon a different culture is mere arrogance" as if it were some absolute, indefensible argument. Yes, moral and cultural relativism is certainly one moral view, but it's clearly not the only one.
