Redwitch: I'm sure there are some very nice Saudis somewhere. No one is condemning ALL Saudis. (The trick is to pick out the goods ones.) The nation (the government, the rulers, etc.) make billions from the sale of their oil. They use much of that revenue to fund religion and a way of life that is a real challenge and threat to this nation and our way of life. Saudi's are radical Muslims funding schools that teach and promote much of the radicalism we are fighting. It is no coincidence that most (all??) 9-11 terrorists were Saudi. They have a culture that enables them to be highly skilled in smiling to your face and stabbing you in the back without you knowing where the knife came from. To work there contributes to their goals more than ours. It is sad how many people will sell out this nation for a buck.
