<I can't figure out why Al Queda thinks bombing stuff in Saudi Arabia will scare Americans or add to their overall cause.....> Its all about oil, just like the US taking out Iraq. Al Queda plan is probably to interupt US energy supply?

J., I find that many actions - and inactions - by Al Qaeda fall into place and begin to make sense if you see these people as traditional revolutionaries, trying to take over power in their own countries. Only their ideology is not, say, Communism or Naziism, but their own version of fundamentalist (extremist) Islam. The only way they can hope to make it reality is by destabilizing the current regimes in Muslim countries - and by radicalizing their populations. "Corrupt" Muslims and their current (quasi)Westernized rulers are important - and maybe even primary - targets for bin Laden and his followers.
