12. Indeed

We give the Saudi's much too much leeway and forbearance as it is. It's ON THEM why we have so much unrest in the middle east anyway. Yeah, you can thank the "House of Saud" for the Taliban and for the wave of fundamentalist Islam that's swept that part of the world. The middle east was an enlightened and peaceful place before the Sauds came to power with their Wahhabism. Yes, all the main terrorist groups got their start from this fundamentalist sect of Islam. I cannot believe that we allow them to build schools and Mosques here in the U.S. promoting that violent backwards looking offshoot of Islam.

The Saudis time is running short and their dominance of so much of the worlds energy supply will do nothing but dwindle from now on. Yes, all the Princes there are super rich and that money buys them into a lot of circles (Trump, the GQP etc). The time is now here when we should choose to put pressure on them to actually DO something about their support of and reliance on their terroristic support. MSB is a spoiled rich kid whos never heard the word "no" before and is unlikely to change much if at all imo. Don't forget that 15 of the 19 men responsible for the planes on 9-11 were Saudi nationals.
