"King Fahd was laid to rest in an unmarked desert grave Tuesday," the Associated Press reports from Riyadh. But although Vice President Cheney went to "pay condolences and honor Crown Prince Abdullah's ascension to the throne," Cheney wasn't allowed to attend the funeral, because he's an infidel: "Non-Muslims were not allowed at the ceremonies." Nor were all Muslims: "Women were not allowed at the funeral or burial."
Then comes my favorite line:
King Fahd has a proud legacy. He helped lead his country into the seventh century.
