2. Some Friends, Eh?
If anyone who gains the most of filling the "Saddam" vacuum...it's the Saudis (looks like the Wahabi fundies already know that)...who should have been showering money (or at least backchanneling it) along with nudging their fellow Arabs to come up with some "Arab Solution" to Iraq (they seem to have solutions to everything else).

Instead, we beat a hasty retreat out of Saudi Arabia as soon as the Iraqi Oil fields were grabbed and our welcome in Kuwait is wearing real thin. And this is how grateful friend act?

The ability of this regime to look the opposite way or try to double-talk on their support for these autocratic regimes that persecute their people as much as Saddam did (women even worse)and have sanctioned the Anti-American and Anti-Jewish rhetoric that is interwoven into every fanatical Islamic group.

Saudi Arabia is starting to look more and more like 1978 Iran to me all the time. Remember, Jimmy Carter stood with the Shah on New Years despite the growing undercurrent of fundamentalist rebellion. These Saudi princes...especially the small bald-headed one that makes my skin scrawl...keep telling us how they're cooperating and ready to root out terror and please keep taking their money...yet where are they in helping manchild out of his growing mess?
