Saudi Arabia has said the West is partly to blame for the current nuclear stand-off with Iran because it allowed Israel to develop nuclear weapons.
The Saudi foreign minister told the BBC statements made by Iran's president were "extreme" but that diplomacy was the way to resolve the crisis.
Prince Saud al-Faisal was giving a rare interview while in London for a two-day terrorism conference.
He has chosen this visit to call for a nuclear-free zone in the Gulf.
Prince Saud told the BBC that the West was partly responsible for the current stand-off with Iran over its nuclear policy because, he said, it had helped Israel develop its own nuclear arsenal.
But when asked how Saudi Arabia would respond if Iran acquired nuclear weapons, he ruled out joining the nuclear arms race.
He said nuclear weapons benefited no-one and that if Iran were ever to use them against Israel, it would end up killing Palestinians.
The Saudi foreign minister also called on the UK and other countries to back a Saudi initiative to set up an international counter-terrorism centre.
He said progress had been made in tackling al-Qaeda in Saudi Arabia but that his government was concerned about the return of Saudi militants who had been fighting in Iraq.
Gaining the support of the public was crucial, he said, in winning the fight against terrorism.
On the issue of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, Prince Saud said he planned to thank Prime Minister Tony Blair on Monday for Britain's role, which he called both constructive and important.
It's always the Joooooooooooooooooooz!!!
LOL!
Yeah right. But Israelites are not invasive force of people who wants to kill all Arabs, particularly the Palestinians... If we try to look on the Arabs' side, they are very power hungry people to wants to eliminate almost anything that is Jew or of Israel..

It's all Bush's fault!
Maybe FEMA...
POS Saudi's!
They are somewhat right. Jimmy Carter, who was leader of the free world once, let those wacko mullahs to gain power in the first place. Then later Clinton allowed North Korea to restart their nuclear program and of course sell nuclear parts and secrets to Iran.
I would also like to tell those idiots in Saudi Arabia if you guys didn't hate Israel, they wouldn't need nuclear weapons.
They should tell that to the raving lunatic in Iran.
bttt
Not to speak of Iranians.
LOL!!!

With Iranian nuclear aspirations gaining notice, it's worth directing attention to the growing relationship between Iran's President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Venezuela's President Hugo Chávez. The Reagan administration repulsed Soviet efforts to set up camp in Central America. Iranian designs on Venezuela perhaps deserve similar U.S. attention.
The warmth and moral support between Ahmadinejad and Chávez is very public. The two tyrants are a lot more than just pen pals. Venezuela has made it clear that it backs Iran's nuclear ambitions and embraces the mullahs' hateful anti-Semitism. What remains more speculative is just how far along Iran is in putting down roots in Venezuela.
In September, when the International Atomic Energy Agency offered a resolution condemning Iran for its "many failures and breaches of its obligations to comply" with its treaty commitments, Venezuela was the only country that voted "no." Ahmadinejad congratulated the Venezuelan government, calling the vote "brave and judicious."
Three months later, in a Christmas Eve TV broadcast, Chávez declared that "minorities, the descendants of those who crucified Christ, have taken over the riches of the world." That ugly anti-Semitic swipe was of a piece with an insidious assault over the past several years on the country's Jewish community. In 2004, heavily armed Chávez commandos raided a Caracas Jewish school, terrifying children and parents. The government's claim that it had reason to believe that the school was storing arms was never supported. A more reasonable explanation is that the raid was part of the Chávez political strategy of fomenting class hatred--an agenda that finds a vulnerable target in the country's Jewish minority--and as a way to show Tehran that Venezuela is on board. Ahmadinejad rivals Hitler in his hatred for the Jewish people.

Yeah, like they really care!
Where's Pat Robertson when you need him...
More stupid crap coming from the "kingdom" or as I put it the birthplace to terrorists, hope the crazies overthrow these corrupt dogs soon and then bar-b-que the whole "royal family".
