#1 I agree with your opinion of the Sa'ud tribe but if they fall now the most likely successors will be even worse.

#2 I am sure that the Bush Administration has been grappling with the issue that Kathy K brings up. If we can get Iraq going forward, even if not on all cylinders toward something other then dictatorship or Mullocracy, then we have a wedge for change for the good. News will spread around and the idea may bear good fruit. It will take time and patience, which we collectively have a limited amount shown, but who knows?

#3 However worse the follow-ups are they will not be so western savy as the Sauds and thus less treacherous. The problem, of course, is the oil. Hopefully we'll have all the oil in Russia, Venezuela and Iraq running at full flow before the Saudi's fall.

#4 If the house of Saud falls, who else but Al Qaeda will take control? They, and the Wahabis are already the center of power.
So, we have AQ owning the Saudi oilfields. How long will the U.S. tolerate this?

#5 Come on, Mike, say it: the Sauds own President Bush, which explains why he has NEVER done anything contrary to Saud wishes. I was attacking the Bush-Saud family business here, long before Michael Moore jumped in. Bush-slavery jeopardizes Americans and those who deny it, rhetorically spit on the graves of the war dead.

#7 The new curriculum, it said, had "the same authors and the same ideas" as the old one, but in different language.

Ah, yes. An old trick, but a good one.
They must have the same publisher that the "holy men" use for their "sermons".
