<<The Saudis need the US to back them up. We need them to use their influence to counter Wahabbist influence, both in Saudi Arabia, as well as the rest of the region.>>

Hawk, our need for allegiance with the Saudis has absolutely nothing to do with countering Wahabi influence and everything to do with that black liquid they are sitting on top of. Get real......

The Saudis actually have a state run police force to enforce Wahabi rules of behaviour!! How can they counter Wahabi influence when their whole system is based upon its principles?!?!?

This is more than a delicate dance as you politely put it.....its an extremely inconvenient truth that people such as yourself cannot explain away.
