According to what I read here much of the money behind the construction of Mosques is from the Saudi Wahabbis.

I guess that's what it is. I thought it was plain weird.
This is the first I've heard of any plan to carve up Saudi Arabia, and that sounds like the rantings of someone who is very paranoid.
Then it proceeds to tell us to work with them. Sheesh, that's what we've been trying to do for years. It's important that they work with us, and they're doing less and less of that every day.
To pretend otherwise would be the height of folly.
It should be noted, of course, that we have no interest at all in Mecca and Medina, and the Muslims can have those cities as long as they like. Since almost every nation in that region was set up by the Western powers anyway, it shouldn't cause too much trouble, should it? Unless, of course, it really is about the money for them.
It would be most enlightening to see the reaction, should such a plan ever be proposed. I wonder how many "princes" would gladly toss Islam to the weeds to maintain their fabulous wealth and power.
TRANSLATION:
Just the fact that we have to convince ourselves and others of this illustrates the fact that things could be worse....there could be another oil embargo like the one that basically crippled our economy in the 1970s.
Considering all the inflamatory rhetoric being thrown around, I expect we will indeed see far worse.
Perhaps instead of the hypocritical Royal Family, an openly hostile radical Islamic state in their place.
That would be nice.
The Saudis were not always the guardians of Islam's Holiest Sites. The Saudis took that honor away from the Hashimites with the help of the British.
The guardianship is the only positive thing that the Saudi's have going for them. But I think that things are about to change.
An openly hostile radical Islamic state without the oil fields or the money. I doubt that the Muslim World would long leave such an entity in charge of the Holy Places.
This could be a very good thing. When it is late at night and you are being cheated at the card table sometimes you just gotta' kick over the table and shoot out the light.
Nice word play. Didn't quite have the nuts to call us neo-nazis, did you?
Saudis see a growing animosity in American government and media.
Maybe it has something to do with their open blatant support of terrorists.
But what has especially enraged Saudis are rumors of an American plan to partition the kingdom.
Good, I hope they're so mad they can't see straight. They need to realize that they can't have it both ways. If it were up to me, Mecca would be a smoking hole and Saudi would be divided between Exxon and Chevron.
That was not very long ago at all.
That was basically the gist of the July 10 Rand Powerpoint presentation in which a not so thinly veiled suggestion was made that the Princes (and Saddam) could be replaced.
