We used to be better friends with Pakistan when India was buddies with Russia. Now that India is view more as a counterweight to China, we are friends with Musharrif because he is better than any alternative in Pakistan. Having nukes only complicates this friendship. We can't really afford to have Musharrif go down. Saudi Arabia on the other hand is a business partner of the Bush's. They are expanding their capacity to once again have the role of swing producer. This will take approx 2-3 years. When it happens, they can starve Iran (their main rival) of the current oil premium it is enjoying.

Talibani are supporters of terrorist organization Al-Queda. They are not terrorist.
Pakistan and Saudi arabia did not help taliban in the same way Great Britain, India and other countries. They helped USA fight against Terrorist organization and the supporter or Terrorist.

The Taliban are a religious sect who are very extremist in the way they think society should be run. They're not terrorists.
Unfortunately, they choose to support Al-Queda and give them safe haven. It was Al-Queda that bombed us and are the terrorists. Of course the Taliban are to blame and they deserve what they got in Afghanistan.
However, the support given to them from Pakistan and Saudi Arabia is for religious purposes and not to support terrorism. It is important that we see the difference.

because the governments in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia are corrupt and do not do what the folk want. most of the folk in Pakistan and Saudi Arabia help Palestine and help the Palestinians. a minimum of neither Pakistan nor Saudi Arabia understand Israel

We only need them for a few more years. Once we establish our selves in the middle east a take control of their oil. Once we accomplish this we will no longer need them to support our economy. That will be the end of the Saudi Royal family.

Politics and money. You are probably thinking ethically, which is something politicians almost never do.
