I only caught the end of Faber's interview, but it was a good one. The Prince ducked the key question, i.e. how much of the support Bin Laden gets is in reaction to the disparity of wealth and the nature of the autocratic regimes in the Arab world. For some reason, the Prince doesn't think that's a problem.

I think it was good David Faber was asking a few hard questions of prince alaweed. I was stricken that the saudi was still stating the problem in the middle east was at the concern of the palestinians search for a homeland. He totally evaded the question of radical islamic movement in the region an appeared to mimic bin ladens endorsement of the palestinians.... Isreal has a right to exist....the radical arabs have long stated their desire to see them irradicated. Nothing has changed....however we now know where this saudi stands. screw him....CNBC needs to cut off anymore ties to him as they are now being used to spread this racist propoganda of anti-democracy, anti-israeli sentiment. The arabs lost land in the '67 war against Israel. That's it....end of story...borders change we saw that during WW2. Keep pushing the Isrealis and they will lose more land! History of that area goes back 1000yrs B.C. Palestine could be said to be in arabian peninsula as anywhere?

This is all very frustrating to most of us I presume. Money talks, and the prince certainly has plenty.... Before 911 his political comments would have just been part of the great debate of the Middle East and it's vast amount of problems, but at this point in time we are extremely sensitive and he should have understood this and held his personal opinions on the back burner for awhile in my opinion.... It is true though that the problems between Israel and the Palestinians are giving some terrorists more reason (in their minds) to attack us, but I firmly believe the radical Islamic fundamentalists would eventually find other reasons to attack us even if the Palestinians and the Israelis finally settle their differences.
