>>Places like Iran would love to see the Saudi people overthrow the monarchy and become an Islamic fundamentalist state. But so would countries like Syria and Iraq, not because they care about the Islamic side of things, but because they are socialist states and want to see the monarchy overthrown.<<
Socialist states? By what definition is Iraq a socialist state? Socialist like the UK under Tony Blair? Socialist like Chile before September 11 1973? All this time I thought Saddam was a ruthless murdering tyrannical dictator and now I discover he's a socialist. Geez, what next, Joni's a lesbian? mike in bcn
