re: #148 Killgore Trout

No airline can get Israelis past Saudi immigration. That has been true for the entire history of air travel (or at least the establishment of Israel). Why be outraged at Delta? Airlines can not overrule any countries immigration policies.

Yeah, their rules suck, but I find it kinda hard to be outraged at Delta when our own government has a “partnership” with Saudi Arabia. I guess as SB said in his #135, it’s easier than boycotting their oil. That would involve a lot more pain.

Speaking of boycotts, last night I watched that video about the blood diamonds you posted the other night. It was excellent. I don’t wear diamonds—in fact I rarely wear any jewelry—but if I did, I would boycott them after seeing that.
