Oh, thanks - now how about something regarding the United Arab Emirates?
I'm one of the biggest opponents of the House of Saud that you'll meet - but I don't understand why you're connecting these ties to the UAE. I'm asking for a citation because I've not seen that claim (that the gov't of the UAE actively supports terrorism) to the same extent I've seen with SA (which I agree with).
