The article "With Ethiopians, we have a long history together" by Mahmoud Ahmad (Nov. 18) is like a freeze breeze, a lone sane voice in an otherwise emotionally charged jungle of voices. Well said. Keep it up. At least, Mahmoud Ahmad offers viable solution, instead of just blurting out empty words. RM, Online response II. I have been following local news in Saudi media for a while. Many of them are busy fomenting hate against Ethiopians. I am against Western media's portraying all Arabs as terrorists just because of some rotten apples. It appears that Saudi media is just the same. Most local media men have a similar tendency to generalize. Emanuel, Online response III. Poor policies often create bitter situations. Sweeping out illegals without giving them the chance to prepare is expected to create a mess as what is happening here now. Once again, I salute Mahmoud Ahmad for telling the truth. Keep it up, sir. Ayaz, Online response III. Illegals should be treated like human b eings. Islam doesn't teach us to treat people like this. It's the right of any country to deport illegals, but it should be done properly. It's not possible for the illegals to legalize their status in a short time. Shariff, Online response
