Either attack SA or have the patience and work with SA to help them fight their terrorist citizens.

So you are advising the overthrow of the Saudi royal family and occupying the holiest country in all of Islam?

As for cooperating, they are doing FAR MORE of that SINCE we invaded Iraq, than they ever did before, including the attacks on Khobar Towers, the USS Cole, and the US African embassy bombings...

I wonder why? Maybe they now understand that the US is serious enough to potentially threaten their regime EVEN MORE than the militant fanatics they have been paying protection money to??

If that's the best you can do Chinu, then it's pretty clear that you are like most of the opponents to US policy. You clearly don't like it, but you lack any viable alternative.

Which means that current US policy is probably the best strategy available given the demographic and political circumstances in the region. At least the best solution short of total mobilization and conquest of the Middle East.
