I'd say the Saudi government has legitimate security concerns

Indeed. Most dictatorships do.


I guess you're implying Al Qaeda is in the right. Of course, Al Qaeda would set up a dictatorship of their own if they could - but it would be a more anti-American dictatorship and presumably more to your liking?

You're a stormtrooper kind of guy. -g-

As I've said before I consider would-be insults from you to be compliments, so thanks. I won't even complain to the thread founder for violating the thread rules.

Al Qaeda was formed as a reaction to the Saudi national guard, not vice versa.

Of course, this isn't true but its interesting that you claim this. Does this mean you don't think Al Qaeda was formed by the CIA in Afghanistan/Pakistan to help push the Soviets out of Afghanistan?
