re: #95 tradewind

When the government is financing a world tour for the project’s head, to Saudi and other middle eastern countries who no doubt see this project as a sign of western weakness and capitulation ( because they would never even consider a similar deal), the government is not exactly ’ staying out of it’.
We have had undeniable problems in the past with radical madrassas financed by foreign money operating in the US.

If the Saudis think religious freedom is a sign of weakness, I am very sorry for them. However, what they probably really think is a sign of weakness is our continued support of their regime no matter what the fuck they do.
