Never thought of the Kamikaze as Aircrew Policy

Reader comment on item: Uniting to Exclude Saudi Arabian Airlines
in response to reader comment: Another reason to ban Air Saudi

That is a great point, Dave.

That Egyptian maniac who crashed the plane while muttering "Mash'Allah" or "Insh'Allah" or whatever was proof positive that that is a very active possibility and risk we take every time a Muslim aircrew enters our airspace.

15 of the 19 were Saudis, and our Saudi nominal "buddies" can't control the generation of maniacs they've bred by letting Wahabis control their education.

(Yes, I spell "Wahabi" with one "H" -- it is a transliteration into my native language. What is the point of having a non-phonetic transliteration?)
