No one cares. Americans are still clueless after 9/11. Fox has done exposes on the Saudis, as have conservative papers and magazines. It's just like with Israel, most people don't see the relevance. Americans are accused of being self-absorbed and ignorant about the rest of the world, and for the most part they are. That's partly why 9/11 happened. Americans should be rioting in the streets over this, but that only happens when they need to protest a war.

If you take away the oil picture...the Saudis are just a bunch of corrupt businessmen who will screw anyone over. The US realized this after the oil crisis of the early 70s, and simply kept going back to the Saudis asking for more pain and suffering. There is no reason to support them or the Kuwaitis. We need to pack up and go. Let the middle east burn...they deserve it.
