If George W. Bush had bowed to the King of Saudi Arabia , would you have approved?

Ya know, I just love it when people bring this up. It's a prime example of how we give our enemies examples of just how arrogant we can be. This concept of "an American President bows to no one" shows an elitest attitude that may have been reasonable at some time in history but has no place in the modern world. It's saber rattling of the worse kind and is the first step on the path of sending our young men and women off to die.
Honoring the customs of other countries is not a bad concept and Mr. Obama has shown a new American attitude to the world by doing so.
BTW I think it was far more insulting for the shrub to tour his ranch with said King holding hands. Why was it more insulting? 'Cause they were in America. That holding hands thing is an Saudi custom, I'd have been fine with it in SA but in Texas?????
