Thanks!

"2001 11 September - 15 of the 19 hijackers involved in attacks on New York and Washington are Saudi nationals."
"2003 May - Suicide bombers kill 35 people at housing compounds for Westerners in Riyadh hours before US Secretary of State Colin Powell flies in for planned visit"
2003 April - US says it will pull out almost all its troops from Saudi Arabia, ending a military presence dating back to the 1991 Gulf war. Both countries stress that they will remain allies. (of course they will...typical straddling of the fence by our dear "friends". This parenthetical was added by muah, Phasad)
from the following source:
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/country_profiles/820515.stm
I know you could have easily pulled the same source had YOU done a search, but since I know the silly point you're really trying to make, here ya go. You, of course, are as free as anyone else to deduce what you want from this and the many other sources that are out there. Just like I did.
And, you can call what I said a rant all you want. This is what the message board is for. As I always say, if you don't like a topic or a particular comment, move on to one you do like. Have a good one, I'm out.
