I don't care what anybody says about the Wikileaks scandal, the Saudi royals getting outed as being total and utter hypocrites when it comes to observing their Wahhabi Islamic religion can only be a good thing. Go on over to the Guardian, and read all the sordid details that describe the kind of fraternity-gone-wild parties they throw for themselves.....
"Alcohol, though strictly prohibited by Saudi law and custom, was plentiful at the party's well-stocked bar. The hired Filipino bartenders served a cocktail punch using sadiqi, a locally-made moonshine," the cable said. "It was also learned through word-of-mouth that a number of the guests were in fact 'working girls', not uncommon for such parties."
I've been reading stories about how decadent western culture is having a "bad" influence on strict Islamic culture in harshly oppressive nations like Iran, Yemen, and Saudi Arabia. Apparently the youth in these countries would much rather watch Desperate Housewives and Two and a Half Men than memorize passages out of the Koran and they are rapidly losing their strict national and Islamic loyalties in favor of American-style moral turpitude.

If the leaders of these nations are exposed as religious and moral hypocrites, perhaps it's not too late for the next generations to be more moderate and less hostile to the West.
