Anyway, I think the Al-Qaeda (attack?) will force something that the US has failed to achieve: a true coalition to fight world terror with the US playing the role of a team member like the rest. Wouldn't this suggest that Bush was correct and the rest of the world incorrect? The recent attack in Saudi Arabia strikes me as an act of desperation. Hoping to solidify the support of militant Saudis against the Monarchy with a "the time has come to rise up" attack, while undermining broader based support in the Muslim community by attacking Muslims on "holy ground". It suggests that Al-Qaeda was forced to act thus, prior to having the full fledged social support network within the Kingdom needed to take on the Monarchy. Furthermore, this attack likely could not have occurred without the backing of rival segments of the Saudi royal family. This suggests we may possibly see further "purging" of these rivals from the ranks of potential succession. Civil war? Hawk
