Saudi Arabians aren't particularly offended when terrorists blew up Western targets, but they get their panties in a bunch because a Pakistani diplomat's name translates into "Biggest Dick" in Arabic.

I'm not quite sure if the Saudi Arabians are suffering from penis envy or prejudice against Pakistani culture.

The solution is quite plain to anyone who isn't an anal-retentive prig: Don't translate the gentleman's name into Arabic.

It's quite clear that the Saudi Arabians are the biggest dicks in this affair.
