dave you are what is known as an aggressive conformist. But at least you posted some points this time instead of a simple one sentence jibe.

Re Saudi vs Iraq, I guess the big difference is the administration is not anti-US in Saudi, even if many of the citizens seem to support violent anti-US activities.

Why do they do this? It surely must be because Saudi Arabia is avidly Islamic and they see the US as acting against muslims.
