On this I must agree. No leader of any country should ever bow down to the leader of another country. To bow down to someone signifies that one is subservient to the person that they are bowing down to. Bowing down is also a sign of submission.
Bowing does not equate to submission. In fact it is common protocol in many cultures. Kneeling is a sign of subservience. A bow, however, is merely a sign of respect.
BUT when Bush was holding the Saudi Prince's hand, W's hand was on the inside, that makes Bush the bottom in this relationship, the bitch of the Saudi Prince. So there!!
I trust that he bowed, and if this is the worst we can dig up I guess Obama is doing pretty damn good. How did the last fella meet with world leaders? Oh yeah, he made one his lapdog and killed another while dismantling Iraq's government and establishing a psuedo-democracy in its place.
Of all the things going wrong in the world, how high would you rank this "bow"? War, Famine, Pestilence, Grey's Anatomy, Rape...hymmm, not even in my top 100,000 list. The world's on fire, and we gotta argue protocol.
It's hard not to "rehash" over and over again, the sins of the past, but I'll refrain. Let me just say, IMHO, this IS much ado about nothing. There are so many other ills of the world that we should be outraged about and this sure as hell isn't one of them.
