Full story: The Indianapolis Star

Some directors produce great work the moment they burst onto the scene, as Orson Welles did with "Citizen Kane." Others need time to experiment and hone their craft -- Peter Berg, for example.

In my humble opinion, Don Corleone (Mr. DeNiro) was right when he advised his son Micahel to "keep your friends close, but your enemies closer". There are so, so many basic differences in the U.S. and Saudi philosophies, religous followings, customs, beliefs, etc., that to turn a blind eye toward the Saudi nation and their leanings, whether they be realized or implied,is naive at the very least. Wahabism is alive and well in Saudi Arabia, think about that.

Whoops, wrong "Godfather". The reference should have been to Mr. Brando, not Mr. DeNiro. Sorry.

Most of the terrorists came directly to this country from Saudi Arabia. Bin laden is from Saudi. After 9/11 we removed the USA base from Saudi, just what Bin laden always demanded.
The Saudi Royal family seems like it can barely hold onto power.
There's one rule when dealing with terrorists...never give in.
It's high time Bin laden is brought to justice.

Daily Horoscope for December 11

Pisces

The last thing you want to do is to picking over every little thing. Instead, you have one eye permanently on the clock and you're trying to cram as many activities into the day as possible. This will be good fun and you'll enjoy keeping up the momentum, but beware of a possible tendency to become reckless or to try to cut corners in order to save time, because this will be self-defeating in the long run.
