Okay let me get this straight.
Most of the guys who drove the planes into the buildings were Saudis.
We are currently fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq. To my knowledge, there is no fighting going on in Saudi Arabia.
Also I believe there are quite a few Saudis in the U.S.
With the recent influx of Saudi Arabian students sponsored by their government, many American campuses have scrambled to become more attractive to this growing cohort. Very suddenly, says Susan Sutton, associate dean for the Office of International Affairs at Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, “There became a visible Middle Eastern presence when we hadn’t had such a presence in awhile.”
Two years since the Saudi government scholarship program started and thousands of Saudi students at U.S. campuses later, the interest in better supporting the Saudi Arabian student population – and averting any backlash to their presence in large numbers in unexpected places like Missoula, Montana – remains high. “In addition to reaching out to them in a proactive sense, one could easily state that we’ve reached out to the campus as a whole practically,” says Brian Lofink, the liaison for international programs at the University of Montana. “It’s a two-way street.”

So the thesis is that by fighting the Saudi Arabian terrorists in Afghanistan and Iraq, where they aren't, we are avoiding fighting them in the U.S., where they are. |
