McGrath, you seem to miss the irony of my post! Better to shed a bit of oil instead of blood, but of course greed rules supreme! As for Saudi Arabia's love of freedom I agree with you, but surely it is a red herring! Would you not place the loss of a bit of oil more important than a desire for justice and freedom? I do not believe that to be so! Injustice in either Russia or Saudi Arabia equals as a piece of shit that I would oppose! Putin on the other hand is a disgrace, but Canada can help with long term gain if EU can face up to a bit of short term pain! In Canada we have to get rid of arseholes running our country as well, and it will take time, but surely the world can be a better place!
