Saudis, not Iraniens, account for 60% of the foreign insurgents in Iraq, next is Syra with 30% and Iran is on fifth place with less then 1%. Do you think, Bush/Rice will apologize to the Iraniens and repremind the Saudis and Syriens, both are suppose to be allies? Just curious about your opinion?

I believe there is a book on the Bush family and their relationship to the Saudi Princes. I have no confidence that Bush and his keystone cops know or care who the real bad guys are.

Bush and the Saudis are best friends, there's absolutely no chance that he'll say a bad word against them.
You seem to fail to notice that democracy is not the issue. Freedom is not the issue. Even religious extremism isn't the real issue. The issue is who supports America (at least, who in charge supports them)? The Saudis. Who doesn't? Iran and Syria. So who is going to be tolerated no matter HOW many human rights abuses they make?
This happens all over. Pakistan is NOT a democracy (neither is Saudi Arabia, but Pakistan is the one in the news) Musharraff has brought about a "state of emergency" which basically means any democratic rights the Pakistani people had are now gone. No judiciary - civilians may now be tried by MILITARY judges. The constitution is suspended - which means Musharraff may do pretty much whatever he pleases. If this happened in Europe it would be the biggest scandal of the century. But it barely even raises a whisper of rebuttal by the US administration. Why? Because Pakistan is a key US ally in the war on terror; so all other sins are absolved.

Not surprising. But the Saudi government can't do much about it. They are the young and the downtrodden in the country that have been brainwashed by the violent Muslims in Saudi. If anything, Bush should tell the Saudis to crack down on them.

Saudi's pretty good...
they somehow supply the majority of the terrorists that attack the U.S.... yet are best friends with the U.S.?
how did they pull that one off...
and those that profess to be most against terror... don't seem to really care or want to do anything about it?

I don't care what they. They need to meet some lead.
