At "the political junkies.net" Jay Greene comments about why there isn't more fuss about this. I agree it is likely that the cons would have lambasted Clinton, had he done the same thing.
Personally I don't think there should be a fuss because men hold hands, the fuss should be over WHO he's holding hands with... leader from the country that privately condones the insurgent attacks, the country which is allowing men on their death row to go to Iraq as suicide bombers, country which has not reprimanded their 2nd top cleric for preaching in his mosque that Arabs should go to Iraq now to fight with the insurgents, country that spawned most of the 911 terrorists, including Osama bin Laden, country that doesn't allow women to vote, and only recently had any election at all.
imho our country engages in total hypocrisy in being so chummy with Saudi Arabia and dozens of other countries with the worst human rights records in the world. If they have oil to sell us or money to buy up US bonds, then we'll support them, send weapons and technological secrets, which could be used against us at a future date, whatever.
The world must laugh at how STUPID our foreign policy is. But since these policies (including our total disregard/denial of global warming) will bring down the whole planet with us, it is no laughing matter.
