The Saudis are always worried about an uprising, which is true for most monarchies. That's why they play both sides so they don't upset the masses. Having America protect them would turn the masses against them as your article points out. So why do you keep claiming we're protecting them? > BTW- Where do you think all those F-15s and F-5s the RSAF uses come from? The United States last year provided nearly half of the weapons sold to militaries in the developing world... http://www.boston.com/news/world/articles/2006/11/13/us_is_top_purveyor_on_weapons_sales_list/ > By invading Iraq Bush both weakend America's military, tied them up, > and multiplied its enemies by orders of magnitude.

No. You're argument is if like China, we gave the terrorists the weapons (to kill us), we'd get oil. That's what's bizarre. The terrorists aren't after China yet, so China can sit back and fuel the fire. We're under attack so we have to act. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Create robust enterprise, web RIAs.
