There is some substance to the claim ! KSA has a long history of providing this service to conjoined twins from other countries.

A couple of years ago I went to a party at the Polish embassy attended by none other by Lech Walesa. He was in town to thank the King for sponsoring a similar operation on Polish conjoined twins.

Not only that, but apparently air mail is postmarked with a stamp saying Kingdom of Humanity, so therefore it MUST be, right?!

And politicians are known to kiss babies.

Does that make them baby-friendly...or is it jes' lip service?

Ask the person next to you day after tomorrow at ChopChop Square...

There was meant to be a tone of sarcasm in my posting above...

if mr king abdullah is a lot better in something than the previous ones, it is that he understands very well the importance of international PR and acts upon it

as for the rest - same same as ever before

ah and dont you think that these 'favours' come free - build a mosque here, a madrassa there - we are friends now, arent we?

But, is not "humanity" a cognate of humane? If so, then Asda's and my sarcasm ring a bell.

Or, did someone conveniently leave that out of "wikipedia"?

...as I told my last saudi HR person at SALTS when I was told to send my family off after I had lost some very dear friends the night before (in the 2003 Riyadh attacks) and I was told that I would foot the bill (thankfully Raytheon would have nothing of it!)...it's time to put the "human" back into "Human Resources"!

BTW: Raytheon is the best and most humane employer in the k.o.p....hands down. Thanks, Russ!

Dear NCTBA,

"Raytheon is the best and most humane employer in the k.o.p....hands down."

Hmm, rather a sweeping statement. Perhaps if you had added, "Based on my experience . . . "

Regards,
John

what what what? we have a MAIL service here? does it work? where's the post office? I tried for 4 days to find one a few months back; had to give up and submit to the extortionate charges of FedEx.

Dear zooey,

There's a big post office just as you enter Batha.
