Saudi Funded
Now that phasing bothers me. That implies Saudi GOVERNEMNT funding. But it wasn't. OBL's family was independently wealthy. He had money of his own.

There was an American (Walker?) who tried to take over several Costa Rica (I think) on his own. Should they have considered that a hostile act by the USA?

hatred created by Saudi Religious leaders
Hmmmm....
The Religious Right in this country isn't bad at creating Righteous Wrath either. And their minions, if you wish to call them such, have killed people.

government backed BTW
I'm aware of that. Hardly the only established church on the planet, though. The Dalai Lama had one back when he could. Is he a bad guy too?

Do you know that several states of the United States came into the Union with Established Churches?

Saudis at the Bush ranch
We are not and never have been at war with Saudi. In fact, they let us establish and use bases during the first Gulf War.

You want to touch on any of this?

and I hope the Saudis will be back at the ranch....then GWB will point at Iraq and tell them to pay close attention.

Iraq will be changing just as Iran is slowly changing..Saudi Arabia is going to take longer...clinto did nothing to help it, but the hate they have for us is generations deep and it is called radical Islam. Terrorists are from many countries, SA included.
IMO, there are reasons we cannot take down SA right now....

1. Mecca and Medina, the of the two biggest Muslim holy sites are there.
2. Too much of our oil comes from there. (But, the liberals like Chappy Kennedy and Liveshot Kerry do not want us to be self sufficient so we keep importing more.
