It's not nice to talk like that about our allies, especially one that was home to 16 of the 19 hijackers and teaches Wahhabi Islam in its public schools:

Seriously, Rupert, it's all too believable. I'm just curious as to what made you think things were getting any better in Saudi Arabia. Note in the link that the Prince of Saudi Arabia condemned bin Laden (who had already been exiled) but not the line of (state supported) radical religious thought used to motivate the hijackers.

Like I said, our ally.
