Yes, coming from a royal Saudi is VERY different than from any westerner. It is justification and incitement to further violence and needs to answered in the strongest terms. Al Waleed is looked up to as a leader by wealthy and non-wealthy Arabs here and abroad. His statements of justification no doubt generate millions more support for future bin Ladens of the world. This may offend some sensibilities, but supporting our enemies is sufficient grounds for action. We have the capability to track down Al Waleed's dollars to see how many millions went to those whose stated goal is to kill Americans It's past time to defend ourselves, even with our "misguided wealthy friends". The truth is a potent weapon and the truth is that we Americans have been constantly treated as patsies by the M.E. countries, as well as others, and it's now getting us murdered at home, so let's cut the comedy, show some guts and go after everyone involved. Isn't it odd that, so far, it is easier to engage in military action and put our kids in harm's way than to make some billionaires honest? We have loud cries that "the Israelis control the US Congress and media" on the one hand, and these rich Saudis have their hands in the pockets of military, government and business ... perhaps it's about time to run this country for Americans for a change
