For record and not necessarily in defense of the 11 but...
I have known a couple of Saudis who came here to be educated. They came to small schools to be away from the heavy duty party atmosphere present in many, perhaps most large state universities. Scholarships were based on the most bang for the educational buck and potential reduction in temptation.
Two of them are now running businesses and really using their educations. They aren't the radicals we fear and are actually enemies of the bad guys because it is either the future or the stone age. These guys educated in the 80's are taking control and are definitely the future. They know what's what. You never hear of their success.
That is good for them. What makes these guys suspect is that they never showed up at their "small" school in Montana.
"They know what's what. You never hear of their success."
Well they have to have financial support for their cohorts that came to study chemistry and physics so they will have a better understanding of BOMB MAKING.
When they renounce islam they can be our friends. Until then, their little green book the koran demands that they destroy the infidel.
there we have it, 2 out of 1.6 billion are good guys...;)
What I found odd was that 17 Egyptians were coming to Bozeman for an approximately 30 day course in American & Montanan Culture and History of Montana.
Not exactly the most exciting course of study, even for those in neighboring states.
