Happy talk.

Editor,

Saudi Arabia, take note. Mow down protesters in your streets, and the United States will bomb you, too. What? We won't? Why not? Oil? Speaking of which, I wonder what concessions Libyan rebels have made to the west with respect to the sweetest, largest oil reserves in Africa that just happen to be under their soil in exchange for these bombs. Massacres mean nothing next to oil. That human-rights talk is just happy talk to cheer up American workers whose collective bargaining rights are being taken away in state after state as we speak.
