Considering what the Saudis have done to the US, dealing with them at all should be a high crime. If certain groups hadn’t been cutting backroom deals with the Saudis, we might be out of the Middle East getting necessary oil from Africa instead, and on the path to energy independence.

George Bush holds hands with Saudis.

He treats with the enemy. Is this a high crime, or a misdemeanor?

Saddam, at least, didn’t pretend he was doing it for G-d and try to justify his actions a being pious.

It is quite possible the American version was based on the UK medal. My Dad’s Victory Medal from WWII features a similar “rainbow” in the ribbon. We went to area campaign medals with small stars attached to the ribbon for noted battles in area.

Very true. Saudi should be the pariah state of teh Middle East, not that Saddam and the Iranian Mullahs weren’t or aren’t bastards. Can’t see it happening though.

On a totally different subject I never realised that the WWI victory medal your grandfather got was al;most identical to the one my grandfather would have been awarded. . I’d love to find out if one of my relatives still has his Mons Star.
