*Technical point* Your quote was NOT what he said! My impression from his above statement is that he is *rhetorically* asking - as have others previously on the List - since neither Iraq nor Iranians have attacked the US openly, but many Saudis were involved in the attack on the Towers, if one is going to launch a war, why not against those who have definitely attacked US territory already? This is NOT the same as calling for *actual* attack on Saudi Arabia! Debbi __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
