Obviously we read different newspapers. The 9/11 terrorists and a goodly
number of the Al Quaeda are from Saudi Arabia. Egypt harbors many people
who have committed numerous murders in the name of Allah. Turkey has the
Kurds. Jordan has the Palestinians. Wasn't it in Yemen that the U.S. lost
a ship? All of the places you mentioned are in the midst of turmoil and
have people trying to kill each other or trying to kill others for religious
reasons. Kuwait, maybe, although you could say they were recently at war
with Iraq. They certainly don't harbor any good will toward Sadam Hussein.
And before the invasion there was a bit of discontent among the people.
Saudi Arabia also harbors people who killed a goodly number of Americans who
were protecting the ruling families. I can't really say you've made your
point here. A large number of Saudis living in England fled there to escape
harsh treatment by their government. And Lybia -- considering the amount of
mischief it does in the world and the countries around it, you've got to be
kidding.
If those are your idea of contented and peaceful people, we live in
different worlds.
Cheers,
Grant
