It is more sinister than it seems.
We have to realize that part of what the Arab leaders are saying, vis-a-vis Hizbolla, is that THEY (the Arab states) may not have objected to Hizbolla's actions if the Saudi's and others had been part of the decision.
The western media is going to miss this distinction in their translation and because of the spin that the Saudi's want the western media to give it: "See the Saudi's and other Arab states are actually objecting to Hizbolla" (not). They are objecting to not being in on it.

These radical groups are a threat to the Monarchy, and so we should expect the Saudi Royals to be gainst them.

Good--- Does this mean the Saudis are going to send troops or money to help the Jews?
Or - perhaps they would be willing to help the dispossessed or displaced?
Or - perhaps they would vote with the U.S. in the U.N. for some heavy duty sanctions or actions against Iran/Syria?
I didn't think so...
Perhaps the Saudis need to STFU and fix their own horrible record on HUMAN RIGHTS and RELIGIOUS FREEDOM at home.
