" Perhaps a fitting quote for the current self-loathing era in the West in terms of its relations with the rest of the world should be, in light of this remarkable display by the head of NASA, "I would give the planets a hug if I could". "

In the light of the consisent pro-Islamic policy of the US in Afghanistan,Bosnia and Kosovo , I'd rather paraphrase it so : " I would sell the planets to our Saudi friends if I could ".
