All of us, every single man, woman, and child on the face of the Earth were born with the same unalienable rights; to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. And, if the governments of the world can't get that through their thick skulls, then, regime change will be necessary.

What it's like to play a game against a Saudi school....This is not a joke! The school, ISA, in the D.C. area, and the messages below were personal emails to me:
Message One: It was a very bad experience -- more red and yellow flags flying than any game we've been to, and with both our children involved in soccer since first grade, that's a lot of games. The boys on the Saudi team were older than high school age, one as old as 22, and they played rough. They were out to really hurt our team's players. An ambulance was finally needed and called during this game ( moms watching were not all all surprised after seeing several vicious attacks.) The Saudi players were very serious, it was not a fun experience for them. Very tough coaching on the Saudi side -- Mom's on the sideline called it abusive. [My son] and I have talked about this game many times -- he had a hard time understanding why they were so hostile. Tough experience for young guys out to play fair sports.
Message Two: My son's team played against ISA twice while he was on the team. The second game was not on their home turf and ISA played a pretty fair game. I don't know if anyone in authority was told of their misconduct but I suspect so because of the dramatic change in behavior.
ISA, the Islamic Saudi Academy, is the school from which Ahmed Abu Ali, convicted of conspiring to assassinate President Bush, graduated.

Interesting. I've never heard any stories like that before. There aren't any Islamic schools out in my parts. At least, none that I know of.
Excellent! Top notch.
