| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jan. 01  | I just want to know what some of you think about this. I think it was a very bold move on his part and it showed that we wont accept just anyones money.. NEW YORK (CNN) -- Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Thursday the city would not accept a $10 million donation for disaster relief from Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal after the prince suggested U.S. policies in the Middle East contributed to the September 11 attacks. "I entirely reject that statement," Giuliani said. "There is no moral equivalent for this [terrorist] act. There is no justification for it. The people who did it lost any right to ask for justification for it when they slaughtered 4,000 or 5,000 innocent people." Prince Alwaleed gave the mayor a check after a Thursday morning memorial service at Ground Zero, the site of the World Trade Center towers destroyed in the attacks. The prince offered his condolences to the people of New York, but after the ceremony he released a statement suggesting the United States "must address some of the issues that led to such a criminal attack." "The check has not been deposited. The Twin Towers Fund has not accepted it," Giuliani said in a statement late Thursday The prince's statement said the United States "should re-examine its policies in the Middle East and adopt a more balanced stand toward the Palestinian cause. "While the U.N. passed clear resolutions numbered 242 and 338 calling for the Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank and Gaza Strip decades ago, our Palestinian brethren continue to be slaughtered at the hands of Israelis while the world turns the other cheek," the statement said. Giuliani flatly rejected the prince's position. "To suggest that there's a justification for [the terrorist attacks] only invites this happening in the future," he said. "It is highly irresponsible and very, very dangerous. "And one of the reasons I think this happened is because people were engaged in moral equivalency in not understanding the difference between liberal democracies like the United States, like Israel, and terrorist states and those who condone terrorism. "So I think not only are those statements wrong, they're part of the problem," Giuliani said.  E-Mail Me special thanks to maynard and grumpy for the sig pic and the help posting it | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | I think it was a brave and wonderful thing to do. But it comes as no surprise, the Mayor is the same man who refused the shake Arafat's hand a few years back, knowing him to be the murdering monster he is. | ||||

| O&A Board Regular Registered: May. 00 | Good for Rudy to do that. Doesn't Saudi princes need to buy several wives or something with that money? And why the fuck do we still have "princes" these days. What are we living in a fairy tale?

| O&A Board Regular Registered: Jun. 01 | (Stares at Teenweek's Sig) ... And I can imagine holding a $10,000,000 check in my hands. In fact, I have it right now. But of course I'm being a wise ass and it's my own check that would bounce higher than da moon. Yeah, that is insane... all that money in your hand at one time must be a crazy feeling... but I'm honored to be an american when Rudy told that dick to shove it. Saudi Feggit.

| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Sep. 00 | The cooler thing would have been if he gave back the check, said "Cash this" took out a gun and shot the prince. He SO did the right thing.

I think Rudy is a true NYer...he tells the Prince to go F-himself and rejects a s-load of money because the Prince tried to justify the deaths of NYers...Good job Rudy...
