Long term solutions to short term problems.
If our oil from Saudi Arabia is cut off, the price of gas goes to $10 per
gallon. The president isn't going to get up in front of the American people and
say, "Well I'm building nuclear power plants, doing research on fuel cell cars"
And leave it at that, thats not going to cut it. A crisis like that requires
immediate action. I've heard somewhere that 95% of Saudi Arabia supports Al
Quada, that makes things easy, if we just assume the majority of the population
is they enemy then we can just kill them without troubling ourselves with
wading into their cities and being shot at or worrying about whether our so
called Arab allies will betray us.

I think having "Arab Allies" is a disadvantage in the Middle East. We know many
of them will pretend to be our friends so they can get a better stab at us when
the time is right and I dare any arabs to prove me wrong in this. Right now in
our current war on terrorism, we are being betrayed by our so called "Friends".
Why did 3 out of 4 terrorists escape capture so easily in Saudi Arabia. Are
Saudi Special forces, that we trained ourselves, really a bunch of
"knuckleheads" as they pretend to be?

The sooner our president and Armed forces gets wise to them the better. The
predjudice of the American public will build up and there were come a point
where all Arabs are automatically assumed to be the Enemy. And if there are
Arab moderates, then they are feeding this trend by not doing their part to
fight terrorism, they must be very careful that they don't become a bunch of
lemmings led to the slaughter by religious fanatics into the guns of US forces.
Many people think being anti-American is cool or fun; we must show them
otherwise.
