    Now the Saudis think Barbie dolls are a threat to their
    culture.  This got me to thinking: is it only in the
    west, or is it everywhere including islamic nations,
    where young people and especially teens are disrespectful
    and mouthy?  Certainly the Saudi teenagers would see
    TV and ask "Why is it that the decadent and immoral
    west has so many cool things whereas we totally suck?">>

    The doll was described as a Jewish doll, promoting anti-Islamic ideals. I
    wonder why Americans and Europeans do not see the greater need to separate us,
    energy-wise, from this political religious fascism? Americans should be earning
    jobs in developing our own fuels and electricity. We needn't import Saudi
    petroleum. I am less concerned about the Wahabbis's, whom I deem to be vicious and
    crazed; then I am about those who purchase their oil. What is wrong with us?
