Why when Alfred E. bows to the Saudi King in a most groveling manner, gets criticized and then has to come up with some lame reason:

Well, I guess that is canceled by his wife putting her arm around the queen.

He wasn't wearing a sleeveless dress.

I don't know much about foreign etiquette, but that seemed more like an informal bow rather than a normal bow, more like \"Hey, Barack Obama, President of the United States, how are you?\", rather than \"Good afternoon King whatever\". I don't know, could of been a serious thing.

...I really don't like the Saudis, nor their Saudi Arabia. Screw the Persian theocracy, that place is as if in an alternate history Hitler was an arab muslim in the middle east.

I think you're confusing Saudi Arabia and Iran. Saudi Arabia is predominantly Arab, whereas Iran is predominantly Persian.

I was referring to Saudi Arabian government being much worse than the Iranian Government, although I guess they are on about the same wavelength...

Verb 1. bow down - get into a prostrate position, as in submission

2. bow down - bend one's knee or body, or lower one's head; \"He bowed before the King\"; \"She bowed her head in shame\"

OMG he greeted the Saudi king the same way every other president in recent history did! LIBERAL MONSTER!

Whoever's head is lower.

You could argue the President of the United Stats is the humblest/lowest servent of servents...
