"Yeah - that's plenty of justification to promote terrorism." Well, there is a significant faction in Saudi Arabia who view the government as too beholden to the West. So just because the Saudi government does something, doesn't mean it meets with approval with the population. The roots go back to the seizure of the Grand Mosque. en.wikipedia.org The seeds of al Qaeda were planted then.

We had bases in Saudi Arabia and were flying over Iraq regularly You mean the ones built jointly by the Saudi government and the US that we were invited to stay at and left when asked? Yes, the same Saudi gov't/princes who will not allow women to drive and when in public must be covered from head to toe. The same Saudi govt/princes who allow their people to live in poverty while they collect untold riches. The same Saudi govt/princes who feature Friday afternoon hangings and finger choppings for such crimes as stealing food. Clearly, your standards are much lower than mine. Yeah - that's plenty of justification to promote terrorism. You aren't very bright, are you? Can I recommend a course in ME politics?
