:) I agree but...

As that Post article also pointed out, our 3,000 troops in Arabia were never there to defend the Saudi Royals from their own people. The very thought of using them to resist a popular uprising is ridiculous, as such use would immediately cause the Royals to lose any and all 'legitimacy' in the eyes of their people.
