I couldn't agree more. The true root of the problem is Saudi Arabia and the House of Saud.
What do we do about it? My personal view is that we have to take care of other business first, and deal with the Saudis last. Afghanistan and Iraq were prudent first steps. Next in line are Syria and Iran. Then we need to deal with the Saudis.
I have said from the beginning that this will require breaking the country in two: A larger country containing the oil and a small country containing the Holy Places, Mecca and Medina. It's just asking for trouble when you have the same folks in charge of the pilgrimages who are also sitting on top of trillions of dollars worth of oil money.
The papacy was reduced to the Vatican, so the Pope no longer was a secular prince. The leaders of Islam need to be Vaticanized in a similar way. I say that as a Catholic. Taking the Pope out of direct participation in war and politics was good for the Church as well as Italy.
What can we do? There's plenty that we can do starting with allowing tax credits for the construction of coal to fuel oil conversion plants.

SCR+W the "Royal Family"; we MIGHT get a more honest deal from OSAMA!!
"Support Osama,"--STOP the "Wahhabi terror-war," & Keep Oil Flowing; I'm NOT CONVINCED that the "Saudi's" truly "Run Everything!"
It MIGHT be worth Considering "Cutting a Deal" with "Osama!!"
