Maybe it’s inaccurate but I view the House of Saud and the Saudi public completely differently. If the hijackers on 9-11 had represented official Saudi policy we would have had to of acted against them.

I understand that you see a difference between the House of Saud and the Saudi public but the House of Saud is Saudi Arabia. That is why bin Laden was focused on that family until we put those bases in Saudi Arabia.

Don't get me wrong.......I don't think bin Laden is justified in his position but I also think we interfere in areas [like a bull in a china closet] where we don't understand the cultural consequences of our actions, and we ally ourselves inexplicably with people who usually stand opposite to the things we claim to espouse. Even as a young kid, I never understood the foreign policy of this country.
