How can the Bush administration continue to treat Saudi Arabia as a close ally? The blatant anti-Americanism that emanates from their official religion is a gross insult to this nation!

I think Bush believes that, unlike Saddam, the Saudis can be frightened into cooperation, that they have an instinct for self-preservation which will cause them to reluctantly reign in the more extreme elements in their country.

They are a close ally. Just not ours.

Keep in mind that Bush is very, very accepting of Islam.

Last time I looked, Saudi Arabia was the world's largest oil producer and we are the world's largest oil consumer.

Does that suggest a relationship that might be necessary to maintain in some fashion in order to prevent disruption of our way of life?
