Can I slap Bush silly? Please?

I listened to BBC Worldservice as I got dressed last night, and they aired a quote from our der leader concering the terrorist attack in Saudi Arabia. It was the standard canned garbage that came with one huge lie (which is also standard): Bush claimed that terrorists were attacking free nations like Iraq and Saudi Arabia.

Uhm... When in fuck did Saudi Arabia become a free nation? Did they install a democray overnight or something? Did I miss this?
