I have a strong belief that the house of Saud will not relinquish control on the country (including Mecca and Medina) during my lifetime.

AQ doesn't get to destroy Israel. What I'm arguing is that taking care of the Palestinians would peel off some future AQ supporters.

The Saudi's need to take care of their Wahabbi influence problem. Until they do, we should be putting some distance between ourselves and the Saudis. It's crazy that we are helping the Saudis 'help' build and sustain AQ.

Since there have been no more attacks, perhaps the Saudis have at least figured out how to protect their business interests....just as we figured out how to protect our embassies and federal bldgs.

There's just no evidence to suggest that AQ can't be a manageable problem, if we play it smart.
