Some Saudi hijackers aren't an aspect of Saudi policy, they're just a reflection of the US' lack of popularity in the entire region. There are so many kinds of people working with al-Qaeda, all different nationalities. Reassigning responsibility for 9/11 to the whole nation of Saudi Arabia is the worst kind of prejudicial ignorance. Fundamentally, the rulers of Saudi Arabia are willing to play ball with the US and have a certain reliability. That really matters a lot, from the standpoint of US policy. If the US foreign policy is not completely insane, reliability in not attacking us should count for a lot. It isn't the same topic as how quickly we can force them to internalize our values to satisfy aimless cultural imperialism. Saudi society is not a modern democratic society and forcible external intervention is not going to help it get better. It will have to get better on its own timetable. If you think that it was bad to remove Saddam and Gadaffi, you should renounce this nasty implication that we should attack the House of Saud, you can't imagine the consequence of that, it's totally irresponsible to suggest. If you are going to talk about Iran, talk about Iran, don't change the subject to the Saudis.
