Of course they would. The leaders of these Arab nations are the least of our problems. It's their people that they have no control over that is the problem.

That's right. A frustrated Saudi student wrote this piece, called "Slaughtering Our Honor".

Thanks Wanderer. It's cool to see a Saudi with a sense of humor. They're not known for that. One thing Sultana complains about in the "Princess Trilogy" is that Saudis take themselves too seriously. Indeed.

Sheikh Zayed also sent a cable to Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahd for the ?great accomplishment achieved by the Saudi security forces? against terrorist groups in the Kingdom recently.

I was reading that forum. It is unsettling to say the least.

Egads, some *very* disturbing posts on that forum. We live in a very dangerous world.
