Would an invasion of Saudi Arabia lead to a greatly reduced threat level of terrorist attacks? Nope.

It would if you assaulted their religeous institutions in such a way as to demostrate their impotence to the whackjob faction... If you own Mecca and Medina, you can mold Islam. The weakness of the religeon is its attachment\affinity for the tangible and physical at far greater levels than others.

OK, I have a serious question for this thread...

Has at any time since the morning of September 11, 2001 any American Muslim group come forward to denounce this act? It is the one thing that truly bothers me. I can remember several nations sending condolences and regrets, heads of state, but I honestly do not remember any Muslim rejection of Osama bin Laden or any regret expressed whatsoever. All I heard was silent acceptance. Someone please correct me, because I WANT to be wrong on this one...
