As someone who has lived in Saudi Arabia for five years, Iran for two (during the fall of the Shah), and Indonesia for two, I think this two hundred year old wahhabism boogeyman is overdone. The true roots of Islamic terrorism come from Khomeini and his hijacking of the Iranian revolution. I would also assert that mainstream Islam is a major part of the problem and has manifested itself in conflicts around the globe long before 1979 or 9/11. Saudi Arabia is not a state sponsor of terrorism regardless of what you say.
No kidding. Do you want (or need) a thesis on the Neo Con philosophy? I assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that most here at least grasp the basics.
You assume too much. What are the basics of the neocon philosophy? Is there a seminal document that spells it all out? Do these neocons run the US the same way other conspiracy nuts believe the Bilderbegers run the globe?

One would hope that anybody engaging in any discussion of the world in 2005 would not have to ask "What are the basics of the neocon philosophy?" And, yes there are tons of "seminal documents" that spell it all out. With all your study of the subject how did you miss them?
Nice try in your attempt to imply that anyone who is informed about the foreign policy that is reshaping the globe must be a conspiracy nut. Perhaps you need to return to the mid east for a while.

Interesting, then why did congressional JIR report about state sponsored terrorism black-out 28 pages on Saudi Arabia less than 2 years ago? To hide all the good Saudis were doing?
Why did Treasury Dept. General Counsel David Aufhauser say that Saudi Arabia was the "epicenter" of terrorist funding in an appearance before the US Senate?
Why were the Saudi sponsored "charitable" organizations like WAMY and MWL shut down in the US for funding terror?
Why did the Saudi Minister for Islamic Affairs write in 2003 that suicide bombing was accerptable and the "victims" were martyrs?
I am deeply suspiscious of any one (especially one with mideast ties) trying to convince us that there's nothing to worry about in Saudi Arabia. You appear to have an agenda, Kabar.
