This is Pat's worst article. He reads too much into what Condi said.

He defends Saudi Arabia, home of the money, ideology, and most of the fanatic Tower bombers. Pats' got to rethink his position.

Why should countries, with insignificant populations, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait or Quatar, be in a position to threaten the economy of the US?

If not for the US, they would have been devoured long ago.

I agree. I think his point is that the administration is putting too much faith in democracy in the ME. Didn't Algeria have free elections not long ago and the miltary had to step in after the islamists won a majority? As usual, he makes some good points and then trashes it all with some not so good points.
