To quote a movie, "NETWORK":
"There ARE no NATIONS, Mr. Beale! There are no 'peoples'. There is just the international finance System of Systems. Petrodollars, Electrodollars, the Ebb and Flow of international commerce. The Saudi's raise the price of oil and billions of dollars flow out. We have to get that money BACK, Mr. Beale. Ebb and Flow...IBM, AT T, ITT, Exxon, Mobil....."
Cui Bono (Who Benefits?): The financiers always make money on the flow of capital, regardless of which direction it goes.

Many foreigners own property here. We encourage investments. It's not like they can pick it up and take it home with them and they all have to follow our laws and customs, so what is the big deal.

any Saudi ownership in the US would be by the royal Saud family...which is the Bin Ladins...who are very good friends of the Bush family...
