The Prince Who Bought America

My friend Always on Watch has an excellent and comprehensive post up today about Prince Alwaleed bin Talal bin Abdulaziz Alsaud and his efforts to buy influence in various Western institutions.

I recommend everyone go read it. It's a very Infidel Blog Alliance type post.

I just was over at "Always on Watch". It's amazing how easily institutions sell their soul for a fistful of dollars. Sorry about the Eastwood reference.

Sad, huh? Money can buy off a reticent person. After awhile the formerly reticent person begins making excuses for the offender, and those excuses harden into agreement with the ideology.

The only way it can begin, though, is when the reticent person just didn't have his own principles to begin with.
