American Soccer Mom with SUV=Bad; Saudi Prince with Jumbo Flying Palace=Good (European Jobs)

Wait a second, let me get this straight. European politicians, whose environmental consciousness has set the gold standard for insufferable pomposity, are publicizing the potential purchase of the largest commercial aircraft ever built for use as a "flying palace" to the super-rich? Are these Middle Eastern gazillionaires not moved by Josh Hartnett's scientific expertise combined with his selfless social concern? Shouldn't we be restricting use of these planes just like some seek to restrict the use of SUVs? What would be the harm in telling these two Russians or Saudis or whoever they are they can't have their flying palace? Wouldn't it be just like putting about 675,000 Toyota Priuses on the road or something?

Something tells me there is a degree of incoherence and illogic to what our politicians might be saying about all this global warming stuff....
