Not sure what this has to do with Saudi. They are not included on the map. Did you post this on the wrong branch?

There are Middle East countries on the map, so perhaps this should be on the General Middle East board, if at all.

I beg to differ.

Pfft...if at all? Did a hippie once place a flower in the barrel of your rifle?

Please accept my apologies. It seems this "march" will fly over S.A.
The Kingdom's granting of airspace speaks to a tolerance of peace-niks versus an acceptance.

Ho ho, a 'global march for peace' featuring such peace-loving nationss as the US, Israel and North Korea.

What can one say, really?

Dear Cleopatra,

"What can one say, really?"

Only, perhaps, that one would rather see them marching for peace than marching to war.

Regards,
John

Yes, you had to enlarge it enough to see that it flew from Jordan to the UAE it looked like.

When I see things like this, my immediate thought is... what a huge waste of resources in a total waste of time.

That's not very fair, Cleopatra. The US is a peace loving nation. And it does more for the rest of the world than the rest of the world does for themselves or each other.

Once again, Winston Churchill put it well, I think:

"The United States invariably does the right thing, after having exhausted every other alternative."

Can you really write that with a straight face? I certainly couldn't read it without laughing out loud.

It may be true of many of its citizens, but it has never been the policy of the US government.
