America and Saudi Arabia are at the heart of two great but very different civilizations.

One modern, one medeival. One great, one not. One will win over, one will not.

Another taste of 'moral relativism' and the 'equality of cultures.'

The arab muslim fools are probably deluded into thinking we are as stupid as their own brothers and cousins, who they have been cheating and manipulating and killing for eons. They are fools. And we are not stupid.

Since they have forgotten how to herd goats, they will be reduced to begging. The royalty will live on in Switzerland, no change there.

We have an energy crisis or dependency for two reasons : the enviro-wackjobs who have pushed all kinds of scientifically questionable arguments and the persons who grow rich by keeping us from using our own coal, oil etc. Remember Clinton and his putting so much coal and oil off limits ?

To be honest, not much would make me happier.

Don't for get that they all get a giggle over this.

If we take over, we would control the fields.

But why bother? It's too expensive to take over countries.

Just set up a democracy where women can vote. :) That should set them straight.

I remember reading on www.arabnews.com (official Saudi news site) that they have a definite plan to set all the oil fields on fire immediately upon US invasion.
That would take 2 years to clean up.

You need to understand that Saudis are like rats, they are very clean if they have soap and water, but if need be they can live in the desert with very little water or food and survive just fine.

The guardianship is the only positive thing that the Saudi's have going for them.

Historically it's been pretty irrelevant (which is what I think you're getting at.)

It should be noted, of course, that we have no interest at all in Mecca and Medina

We should take the pumps. They're by the coast. There's only seven of them. Take them. Screw the rest of the land. Kill anything within 500 yards of the perimeter.
Don't waste ammo taking their stinking towns.

It's high time for a test of your hypothesis. Especially for the royal family.

Osama bin Laden is Saudi too, isn't he?

No he isn't Saudi, although he was Saudi, (past tense.)

Hmmm. Civilized isn't the first word that comes to my mind when I think of Saudi Arabia.

the talk is fanning resentment in the kingdom and making it more difficult for the royal family to cooperate with the US on a range of initiatives, such as regional peace, economic development, and maintaining stability in the oil markets.

What cooperation?
They already stated plainly that they are not cooperating.

What regional peace?
Fiancing the families of murderers simply encourages more of them.
Guilty as sin.

What stability in the oil market?
Stable high prices?

Threats are a waste of time in this case.
The U.S. in 2002 is a whole other animal than Japan in 1938.
The U.S. actually has the means and the reach to do whatever it wants.
The Saudis should have thought of that before they started to help the terrorists out the back door.

This is a great motto and rally cry:

Kick their a$$ and take their gas.

All of us should steal this great motto from Travis and put it on our home pages and post it whenever an apologist for the Islamakazi's tries to make them look human.

Kick their a$$ and take their gas!

I agree, it would be a great bumper sticker.

I really like it.

Right now, I don't have enough coffee in me to parse it down for a bumper sticker.

If parsed, you could start a great Freeper bumper sticker buyin.

I have pinged Ebuck to have him post his bumper sticker re the fires that are due to the Green Jihadist Watermelons in America.

If you come up with one, I will have to move my Simon sticker to the middle between the enviral sticker and Kick their A$$ and take their gas. They all go well on a big SUV.
