I do not admire the Saudi Royal Family, but let us never forget that the same people who are gunning for us are also gunning for them. Try to imagine a world in which Iran/al-Qaeda/Taliban-type terrorists overthrow the Saudi Royals and you will begin to see what such a world would look like. I think we need to work with the Saudis in constructive ways to bring about much needed reforms, but without going too far too fast (as per Aristotle's thesis on manageable change). Moreover, while there are many areas where the Saudis deserve much criticism, I am also convinved that our mutual enemies are doing everything in their power to drive a wedge between the USA and Saudi Arabia by exploiting the natural contradictions between our two countries. No doubt this is sometimes done by drawing attention to real divisions, but I am also convinced that our mutual enemies are using disinformation and deception to fan the flames of mutual distrust whenever and wherever possible.

Well considering these Saudi b@stards were the ones promoting their whacked Wahbi religion as well as financing it, they are getting their just desserts!
