I think the Saudis have a lot of things to answer for (Its stone age punishment of criminals and its inhuman treatment of women to begin with), however it is a completely different matter than the Iraq situation and I am sure you know that. The government is guilty of allowing extremist activities to occur because it is afraid of an islamic revolution. The rulers of Saudi Arabia are somewhat west-friendly (mostly because that's where they get their wealth and power through oil) but they must appear to be good Wahabis and anti-west. The alternative to this behavior would probably be the kind of genocidal acts that we KNOW Saddam has done. I don't think you would find half a million bodies buried in mass graves in Saudi Arabia. If you know of something like this, I would truly like hear about it.

If the Saudis are guilty of genocide; making war on its neighbors; using WMDs and continuing to research, build, and hide them; harboring terrorists like Abu Nidal; training terrorists to hijack airliners; Shooting Scud missiles into civilian populations in Israel; ignoring dozens of UN demands; shooting missiles at American Fighter Jets adhering to UN rules; committing torture and rape on an industrial scale; and planning and attempting to assassinate a former US President then, by God, let's take Saudi Arabia down. If not, I think it is a feeble attempt to equate Iraq and Saudi Arabia and other tactics are called for. Like Iran and North Korea, Saudi Arabia is begin dealt with in a different way than Iraq. This shows that, in fact, Bush isn't the wild cowboy moron the left wants to portray him as. The Libya [capitulation] shows that as well.
