Saudi Arabia is No Friend – Cuba is No Enemy

July 29, 2010

I am pleased that President George W. Bush and former U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice as representatives of the United States in world politics. When Bush was in office, he and Ms. Rice always wince at the Saudi princes and potentates, criticized inconsequential characters, like Fidel and Raul Castro in Cuba. Have they thought it was a good policy to engage in such conduct, or was it just that they do not know better?

Under the editorial board of the Washington Post, the Bush administration, Saudi Arabia as an “ordinary country, and moderate and a loyal ally of the United States.” Mainstream? Moderate? Ally? Wikipedia has described a different view: “A lot of freedoms in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights enshrined does not exist, it is claimed that the death penalty and other penalties are often given to suspects without trial. Saudi Arabia for its suppression of religious and political minorities have criticized the torture of prisoners and the attitude to foreign expatriates, homosexuality and women. ”

Well, I take the remark about torture should not be used against the Saudis, as if Bush was in power we have done the same, but the other criticisms seriously. Saudis, however, believe that their draconian measures are needed to keep the crime rate is low. For example, they say that the thief had his hands cut never fly again and it will be a constant reminder of other things that contribute to not be on the other.

If you are looking for fine German wine and food, consider the region of Franconia in southern Germany. Here you will find a good deal, and I hope you have fun on this tour filled wine education fact, when we review a local Riesling.

Franken is bordered by the Danube in the South and Main in the north. French and Swiss francs are for the Franks, a Germanic tribe named. Upper Franconia is independent for centuries, but the Congress of Vienna in 1814-1815, he joined in neighboring Bavaria in southern Germany as part of the recasting of Europe.

Franconia ranks sixth of the thirteen German wine regions of the area of vineyards and the entire production of wine. Over 85% of Franconian wine is white. The main grape varieties are Müller-Thurgau a German hybrid, accounting for nearly half the local production of white wine and Silvaner. Unlike many other German wine regions, here the Riesling is not a major player. About 40% of the wine from the region is of average quality QbA wine, and almost 60% is the premium wine QMP. Only 0.5% of Franconian wine is table wine.

Nürnberg (Nuremberg) is the largest city in Franconia and the second largest in Bavaria. It is a very historic city, a little less than a thousand years. It was the site of the first Reichstag of the Holy Roman Empire, the site of the largest meeting of Hitler and the site of the Allied war crimes tribunal after the Second World War.
