Dear Saudi's, we have turned our answering machines on and will be out of town for quite some time. When Saddam stomps you into oblivion and takes posession of your castles only to turn them over to his ignorant relatives who will crap on the furniture, don't call.
Feb 1: Saudi Arabia's Interior Minister Prince Nayef has said he expects to sign a security pact with Iran this month.Prince Nayef told the official Saudi Press Agency late on Wednesday that the pact should be signed before Haj.
"It is supposed to be signed before Haj and the signing will be in Tehran. I am waiting for our Iranian brothers to set a date," he said.
Saudi Arabia says the pact aims at fighting crime, terrorism and drug trafficking and should not be seen as a regional defence pact.
Iran opposes the deployment of US and Western forces in the region and is keen to sign defence pacts with its Arab neighbours. But Gulf Arab states, which look to the West for military support, have declined Iran's offer.

Has anyone considered whether or not the Saudis and Iranians came to some sort of agreement regarding Iraq?
