"Ah, the simplicity of "you're with us or agin' us," Texas style"

That's the beauty of it.

"is Saudi Arabia "with us or agin' us""

A combination of both.

"Why is it that the US does NOTHING about Saudi Arabia"

I suggest that you don't know what "NOTHING" means. We are using diplomacy and pressure to get them to go after terrorists in their country (which they are doing for the 1st time). And the biggest part of all is making an example out of Iraq. Shows our ability to change things in a hurry, and more importantly will establish a democracy that will show the ENTIRE middle east that freedom and democracy create prosperity, even in the middle east. We had legal authority to go after Iraq (remember the 13 U.N. resolutions?), and Saddam posed a danger to slip weapons to our enemies. Appeasement is not enough for our President (thank God).

"And what about North Korea...they ADMIT to having nuclear weapons"

Do you follow the news at all? Are you so simple that you think all problems should be met with one strategy? Your post implies we should be attacking Saudi Arabia and NK, but not Iraq. Since you obviously have been missing the news I will fill you in. NK went from saying they would ONLY have unilateral talks with us (which Clinton and Carter tried - DID NOT WORK) to talks with Russia, China (the most important), Japan and the U.S. They have also let some of our people inspect their nuclear facility (which I believe has reduced our fears somewhat). What will you say when that danger is ended without of shot being fired?

"Oh....whatever happened to Bin Laden?"

Two thirds of his terrorists have been killed or captured, he no longer has a place to base his operation. Funding has been severely limited, as has his ability to communicate and command. He is probably living a miserable life in a cave high in the mountains. And he has the best and brightest U.S. forces hunting him down every minute of every day of his life. My guess is he will be caught within a year, but I am not quite as concerned about it as you seem to be. I suppose you feel we should have left him alone too.

Looks like you are the simple one to me. Your simple, smart alec one liners to complex problems we are well on the way to handling just shows your negative view of anything our President does and what our country stands for. You are either with us or against us, and to me you definately look like you are against us. Otherwise you would be for us, right?

Very simple.
