Latest news is the residential complexes bombed were Western housing.

I have even more sympathy for Americans and other Westerners who risk their lives to help the Saudi people by working in their country, and an even higher level for servicemen who defend it.

I am sure extremists will cheer this action against western complexes. But it will connect many Saudi lives to this regardless. It will bolster the position of many moderate muslims everywhere who object to having their religion hijacked by these political activists who seek a return to acient tribal barbarianism.

It will also give us an argument for a higher level of co-operation from the Saudis. It is tragic that they have been remiss in their duty to stop this.
