At least it’s a sign that maybe they too are getting tired of war.

The Saudis have been promoting this old tired ("Israel gives up everything and we will think about acknowledging their right to exist") since 2001.

BTW what "wars" have they been fighting that they are "tired of"? Saudis never fought a war, not even to defend their fake "kingdom" which was given to them by the British out of the Turkish empire.

LOL... you wish. It's more a matter of them realizing that it's far better to live in the status quo with the Israelis than let Iran continue to infiltrate and undermine them from within.

One thing that doesn't get much play in the western media is how many Iranian agents there are crawling around the gulf states. That's one of the reasons the Saudis are so dead set against a US attack on Iran. They know that Iran will punish the west indirectly, through massive terrorism aimed at *them*. It's also why they're buying up lots of weapons. They're *scared*.

I think it’s a sign that they see the terrorist threat that they started has gotten out of hand and is now as big a threat to them as us. In Iraq we have shown them that we are going to be on the winning side and that’s where they want to be. If the damn democrats don’t pull the rug out from under us.

true. how long are they gonna fight? they’re gonna run out of suicide bombers at some point. And the sane ones are seeing no results of Decades of conflict.

I hope and pray that you are right. This Gordian knot is at the center of our issues w/ Islam and the Arabs. A saudi prince laying out a pathway to normalization carries far more weight than any "peace plan" cooked up in Washington, at least w/ the Arabs.

Only the Arabs can call off the dogs on intafada.
