Les what has that to do with the corruption in Saudi Arabia ?? Besides tell me about a government in the ME and Central Asia which is not substantially more corrupt than Western governments. The problem is that the US and other Western Powers got themselves into a mess for which they are ill prepared. Now upon typical Western approach of showing results for the next "quarter" they will sell down the river the Israelis to accommodate a terrorist entity and proclaim that the war is not against all Muslims or Islam (which is true). The main problem is that around 10 to 20% are Islamic fundamentalist and very violent for that matter. The first problem is to concentrate on Saudi Arabia who promotes the Wahhabi type of Islam which is a very fundamentalistic version to keep the Saud Royal family in power and gave rise to Islamic Fundamentalists.
