Arent there like 140 members of the 'Royal Family?'

Some of the latest numbers I've heard are 30,000!!!!!

Considering we're in the 5th or 6th generation of these guys from the original founder (in the early part of 1900's) this is not hard to believe. Think about it: each male had multiple wives (some 20, 30 or more in the early days!) and then each wife bore them 5 to 10 children (keep 'em barefoot, preggers, milking and in-the-tent) and then multiply THIS over 5 or 6 generations to the present day............

There are about 3,000 Saudi royals. That's been the big problem over there. Some of them are very reform minded and pro-American, others have supported the terrorists.

What we're watching now is the battle within the family to see who wins out in the end.

Bush just handed the good guys a winning hand by pulling the US troops out of SA, let's see how they play the cards.
