There are rumors of several unpublished works by the immortal Dr. Seuss. Among them are “Fox in Detox” and “Oh, the Places You’ll Scratch and Sniff!”. The greatest one, in my opinion, is “You’re Different and That’s Bad”.

How different do people have to be to be “bad”? Do the French qualify by passing national legislation which prohibits Muslim girls from wearing headscarves? Gauche perhaps, and certainly unconstitutional by American standards, but Bad? Certainly the National Socialist German Workers Party qualifies as sufficiently different to be Bad.

But how ‘bout dem Saudis?

Here is another “Saudi special”, brought to you by those fun-luvin guys from Riyadh! :D

Different isn't necessarily bad. I'm relatively open-minded.

However, rules should be widely published, consistently enforced, and punishment should also be consistent. Assuming these principles weren't violated, I'm willing to say that the lady knew the punishment and deserved it.

You've stretched my condemnation of a few people who stripped and beat a woman for a condemnation of all Saudis. That's not true. And, it is true that some Americans have committed terrible acts ... police, soldiers or ordinary citizens. But, in my experience, when caught, most are brought to trial and, if convicted, punished. That's what should happen. And, BTW, I would be willing to call them uncivilized, too.
