J, re:The Saudis not only provided MOST of the 9/11 terrorists...Why didn't we attack them, instead of letting them fly all the Bin Ladens out of the country when no other Americans could fly? You really should do some basic reading on your own. Bin Laden was kicked out of Saudi Arabia and disowned by his family, even in the US we don't arrest or kill entire families for one members crimes. Do you have evidence that the family was involved in 9/11? Saudi didn't invade a neighbor and then not adhere to the UN mandates against them and the reason we stopped the first gulf war which we resumed years and several resolutions later. As much as it appears Saudi is responsible for either creating or supporting terrorism directly or via it's version of islamic teachings we have no solid evidence to base an attack. Worse we have economic relations with them that makes negotiation the prefered avenue to find a solution. Not all problems can be solved with the same tool (War), with Saudi we have so many ties that bind our hands. We have no issue with the Palestinians (until today), we simply want to be an honest broker for peace in the region - it seems however neither Israel or the PLO actually want peace.
