Thumbs down Saudi Royal Family

On the surface, they are a great ally of America. You don't have to dig to deep to see that they are also one of the worst enemies.

They love to visit Western casinos, and enjoy all the luxuries that are offered from Western society. Then they turn around and financially support Wahabism, a 3 century old sect of Islam that is violently opposed to modernity.

The Saudi Arabian population despises them, and it should be no surprise that most of the 9-11 hijackers are from that nation.

More than any other nation, they bred the conditions that caused 9-11. After Afghanistan, they are the nation that should have been invaded. We can't invade them, because we do need the oil. We didn't need Iraqi oil, so we could begin to remake the region by placing a (classicly) liberal democracy next door.

The change is already begining. Many of the tiny monarchies on the Saudi Peninsula are introducing dramatic political reform.

Time will tell, but, in my opinion, the House of Saud will reform, or be overthrown. Afterall, there are many who believe that 9-11 wasn't reall directed against America, but against the Saudi Royal Family.
