"...Osama bin Laden himself, most of al-Qa'eda's recruits and funding all come from Saudi Arabia. Islamist militants throughout the Middle East receive Saudi money. The officially prescribed Wahabi form of Islam is itself "fundamentalist", the state press is profoundly anti-Western and American goods are boycotted..."

It is true that the Saudi's kicked Bin Laden out, but it was to save their own hides and not because he was an international criminal. They have done little beyond that, and are actively supporting the intifada.

Are you disputing these claims? If so, how about providing your own evidence. We're not responsible for your ignorance.

If something is rotten in the Kingdom of Saud then why not specifically spell it out with evidence. The above first paragraph doesn't do that. So what if they all came from Saudi Arabia. OBL was kicked out of Saudi Arabia. And if you have a hot money trail connecting the ruling government of Saudi Arabia to 911 and other terrorist activity -- then let's see it in the freeping article. Is that too much to ask?

So then the Saudi's should be delt with because they did the right thing -- they booted Bin Laden -- but they did it for their own self interest. That's the criteria you use. Then you go on to tell me that they support the intifada, but you give no supporting evidence. The hot money trail is not mentioned.

Again -- I am disputing the reliability of an opinion without supporting statements. You give your opinion and then you support your opinion by saying go prove me wrong. Your opinion as stated is worthless and your judgement -- mistaking critical thought for ignorance -- says a lot about you.

If the supporting evidence is not worth mentioning, neither is the opinion.
