(andPOP) - Michael Moore will be unable to show his latest documentary in Kuwait. According to several reports, Fahrenheit 9/11 has been banned from Kuwait, because officials say the movie insults the Saudi Arabian royal family, and is critical of the invasion of Iraq by the U.S.

"We have a law that prohibits insulting friendly nations, and ties between Kuwait and Saudi Arabia are special, said Abdul-Aziz Bou Dastour, cinema and production supervisor at the Information Ministry, to the Associated Press.

Kuwait National Cinema Company, which has a monopoly of movie theatres, has to have movies approved by the government.

"It would have angered Kuwaitis," said an official.

So the Kuwaitis are suggesting that to claim that their pals, the Saudis are good friends with the idiotic bush is insulting to them.

They do have a valid point there.
