Hawk, I am fighting terrorism in its purest form. What I said is that if there is evidence of complicity of the SA royal family with the terroists, or if they are unwilling to move to arrest their terrorist citizens, then the US should move into/attack SA. They do not have to attack Mecca and Medina where their holiest shrines are.

Regarding cooperation, what I said was the US should cooperate with the SA royals not the other way about as you indicated. Give the SA royal family time to deal with their citizens. We need to respect their sovereignity and let them deal with their folks such as they did with Khobar towers. The US wanted the US justice imposed of the perpetrators. The SA wanted them summarily executed. That is their law and their way of doing things. We need to respect that and help them deal with terrorism in their country.

I wonder why? Maybe they now understand that the US is serious enough to potentially threaten their regime EVEN MORE than the militant fanatics they have been paying protection money to??


I think Al Qaeda was even more persuasive, when they started blowing up Saudi targets.
