SHOCKING:
Saudi billionaire supports use of force to oust Saddam (Rowan Scarborough, February 27, 2003, THE WASHINGTON TIMES)A Saudi billionaire with close ties to the royal family in Riyadh has sent a private letter to Secretary of State Colin L. Powell endorsing the forcible removal of Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein.U.S. officials say the letter from hotel magnate Mohamed bin Issa Al Jaber illustrates that while the oil kingdom's rulers take the public position of opposing war, many prominent Saudis want Saddam removed by force.
"The regime of Saddam Hussein is vicious and has to be removed as a first step," Mr. Al Jaber says to Mr. Powell in the Feb. 19 letter, a copy of which was obtained by The Washington Times.
"After that, reformers in other countries will take heart and the balance of power will shift to trade liberalization, democracy and human rights. Above all, the youth of the Middle East will be liberated once and for all."
Mr. Al Jaber wrote that he was "moved" by Mr. Powell's presentation to the United Nations Security Council in which the secretary delivered an impassioned speech on how Baghdad continues to defy U.N. edicts to disarm.
Mr. Al Jaber is one of the world's richest men and is a significant figure in Saudi society. He has business and social ties to the ruling royal family, owns businesses with assets of more than $3 billion, and operates scholarships and foundations to educate poor Arabs in prestigious schools.
You needn't like their way of doing business, but this is why the Administration feels little need to confront Saudi Arabia for its "non-cooperation"--behind the scenes they're more than happy to collaborate with us. Posted by Orrin Judd at February 27, 2003 6:45 PM
Above all, the money flow and support for "Islamo-facist" Mullahs, "Bin Ladins" and Hezbollahs must be stopped.

Many problems in human experience are the
result of false and inaccurate definitions
of humankind - premised in man-made religions
and humanistic philosophies. For better or
worse, the way we define 'human' determines
our view of self, others, relationships,
institutions, life, - and future.
"What is man...?" Only the Creator, who asks
the question and made us in His own image,
is qualified to accurately define us.
Man is earth's CHOICEMAKER Psalm 25:12 He
is, by nature and nature's God, a creature
of Choice - and of CRITERIA Psalm 119:30,173
His unique and definitive characteristic is,
and of Right ought to be, the foundation of
his environments, institutions, and respect-
ful relations to his fellow-man. Thus, he
is oriented to a FREEDOM whose roots are in
the Order of the universe.
Biblical principles are still today the
foundation under America and Western Civil-
ization. Let us proclaim it! Let's roll.
Behold! The SEASON of Generation-Choicemaker
