Thanks to our "elected officials" we have become more dependent on foreign sources of energy over the past thirty years. Not only does that mean maintaining a relationship with purveyors of religious hatred, but OUR MONEY is being used to fund their ambitions.

Islamofascism: After 15 Saudis attacked the U.S. on 9-11, the Saudi government promised to clean up textbooks that teach students to hate non-Muslims. Saudi officials recently declared the reforms complete.
They lied.
A comprehensive review by the nonprofit Freedom House found that Saudi texts for Islamic studies used in this school year still encourage violence and hatred toward "infidels."
Indoctrination begins as early as first grade and expands each year, culminating in a 12th-grade text teaching teens that their religious duty includes waging "jihad" against the infidel to "spread the faith." Here are some of the passages shaping the next generation of Saudis and Muslim worldwide:
First grade: "Every religion other than Islam is false."
Fourth grade: "True belief means . . . that you hate the polytheists and infidels but do not treat them unjustly."
Fifth grade: "It is forbidden for a Muslim to be a loyal friend to someone who does not believe in God and His Prophet."
Sixth grade: "Just as Muslims were successful in the past when they came together in a sincere endeavor to evict the Christian crusaders from Palestine, so will the Arabs and Muslims emerge victorious, God willing, against the Jews and their allies if they stand together and fight a true jihad for God, for this is within God's power."
Eighth grade: "The apes are the Jews, the people of the Sabbath; while the swine are the Christians, the infidels of the communion of Jesus."
Ninth grade: "The clash between this (Muslim) community and the Jews and Christians has endured, and it will continue as long as God wills."
Does this kind of hateful religious indoctrination translate into violence? You bet it does. It's no coincidence that three-quarters of the hijackers were Saudi. Or that the No. 1 nationality represented at the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, is Saudi. Or that most of the foreign jihadists attacking American troops in Iraq are Saudi.
It's also no surprise that the al-Qaida operative recently convicted of trying to assassinate President Bush graduated from a Saudi academy in the Washington, D.C., suburbs that uses the same texts.
Two years ago, King Abdullah promised to reform extremist Saudi curriculum and remove violent references to Jews and Christians from schoolbooks. At the time, he appointed Abdullah al-Obeid as education minister to lead the sanitization effort.
This was the first clue that Riyadh was not serious about reforming its education system. Al-Obeid headed the terror-tied Muslim World League, which once functioned as a charitable front for al-Qaida.
Abdullah, who recently replaced his late brother on the throne, was heralded as a moderate who would quietly reform the kingdom's religious police state. In fact, he is a pro-Hamas Muslim fundamentalist who is far more devout than the late King Fahd.
Earlier this month, for example, he shocked Western supporters by ordering Saudi newspapers to stop publishing pictures of women (as they could make young men go astray) and to censor stories that reflect badly on the kingdom.
Yet as a reward for his alleged help in the war on terror, Abdullah has requested and received from the White House entry into the WTO, along with an expansion in the number of visas issued to Saudis to attend American colleges — an application process that was curbed after 9-11, for good reason.
As part of the ill-advised immigration deal, Saudi Arabia over the next four years will send 21,000 students to the country they've grown up hating. If just 1% of the new crop of Saudi students are radical, that's 210 new potential terrorists inside our borders.
That the Saudi education reformation has proved a fraud is just the latest example of Saudi duplicity. The Saudis are masters of the head fake. They signal one thing and do another.
