#1 SA needs to learn to deal with it. Their already killed their golden goose. We've moved on to the 21st Century. Time for them to put their futures in sand.

#2 I wonder how serious Bush's energy comments were. As the days go by I think it was a threat to the Saudi's. Sort of a stop funding Maddrassas and get the oil flowing or we really will get serious.

#3 Judging from the size of the squeal from Riyadh, I'd venture that you are correct, rjschwarz. Prince Turki sure didn't waste any time hustling his well-manicured self over to the White House to lodge a Complaint. Apparently somebody was watching the SotU, I guess.

#4 Squeal? It's nothing! Wait until Iran and Gaza get their due, which I fully expect in the next couple of months. Then the Saudi royals are going to look at the map and the devastation and get serious about terrorism. The three best things that could happen in the near future are (1) for Israel to show the world that it does indeed have nukes by vaporizing some Iranian nuke facilities and (2) for the U.S. to show the world that it is willing to destroy the likes of the Iranian military by air without bothering with a messy follow-up ground operation and (3) for Israel to pulverize Hamas.

#5 FREE THE EASTERN PENNINSULA!

I'm sure we've got some destitute blacks from Sudan that need their own oil-soaked country...
