One word: oil.

Somebody needs to tell the world that the use of SUVs kills christians. All that money flowing into Saudi has to get spent somehow or other and an awful lot of it gets spent on giant contrcts with Boeing, Douglass et al. for aircraft and military equipment, and there's been at least one post on FR recently describing one such contract as having quid pro quo for American bombing of innocent christians in Bosnia, the contract being signed days after the bombing.

Don't own an SUV or van as your only vehicle. If you have to have one, use it when you really need it and have something smaller to bomb around in. There are simple things you can do which will help. Learn to drive a stick shift if you don't already know. The difference in mileage between the automatic and 5-speed version of the Neon is 10 mpg. That's an extra 100 miles per tankful for free.

I agree with you that money in the hand of the fanatic Saudis is causing a lot of harm in the world. But, we need to go beyond that. How the Saudis manage to lobby the US? Who in the the US government, and media are the people who are taking bribes from the Saudis, and selling-out to their dollars!
