Saudi Arabia is a majority Sunni country…they also has a major say in Bush Admin. Politics since they have business deals (oil deals) with Bush Co. So when King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia send a warning message to Vice President Dick Cheney saying they may fund Sunnis if U.S. pulls troops from Iraq…what does the Bush Admin. Do? They send more American troops to the middle of the Civil War…Saudi Royal Family is the BIG DADDY! Bush and Friends will bend over as requested to protected their oil interests

No one has ever questioned Saudi Arabia's role in the terrorists attacks. Considering Bin Laden and most of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudi citizens, plus Prince what's his name gave money to Al Quida, I'm sure Saudi Arabia has some responsibility.

Of course the Saudis are going to favor the Sunnis. The al-Sauds, or ruling family of Saudi Arabia, are the world's favorite Sunni Muslims.

that is like saying, "the vatican is backing the catholics in ireland".
Being a sunni does not mean you support al qaeda, nor does it mean you support extremitism.
There are extremists on both sides. The saudi's have not said they are going to back the sunni extremists.

To say that ALL Sunnis are aligned with Al Qaida is like saying all Catholics are aligned with with the IRA. It's not a true statement.
Saudis are Sunni Muslim and trying to help the Sunni minority from destruction. Shiites are bent on revenge and the Saudis want to help.
I think it's worthless but applaud their effort.

sure they are, they are majority sunni in saudi arabia. just as iran will back shites. i think the main problem on that particular subject is that most countries in that region are religous majorities and iraq is overlaid with 3 region that come together there. i seen a map of the region based on religous affiliation on cnn i believe.
