You certainly are years and years behind on information concerning the diverse devlopment of Saudi Arabia

Lol. What do they make in Saudi then? Veils? Decorations of dried camel droppings? Tents? Do you have any Saudi inventions to brag about?

C'mon and enlighten me. Tell me about the diverse developments of civilization in Saudi Arabia. Oh, and any activity run by westerners doesn't count.

For starters they produce produces 712,000 tons of cereals per year and supply most of the third world with sulfer and urea fertilizers. Their cattle herds are extensive in Tobruok.(sp) They produce dates and have significant off-shore canneries. Mining is pretty strong. Some brick and ceramic manufacturing. They mine and sell salt. Jubail and Yanbu have a lot of light manufacturing. Petroleum now provides about 40 percent of their GNP and they won't run out of oil for another hundred years.

I'd say they are blessed_____ have used their resources wisely and continue to do so.

Pilots, who don't need to know how to take off or land. Bonus, if they are dexterous with box cutters.
