how to handle Saudis
Reader comment on item: US ‘weak-kneed' in pressuring Saudi Arabia to stamp out terrorism

Dear Prof. Pipes: I'm beginning to feel that these terrorist attacks in Saudi Arabia are being engineered by the Saudis themselves. I have felt for some time that the Saudis have decided that they have the oil, so they should rule the world - not the USA. They have taken many years to plan this but it includes giving the illusion of a split with Osama Bin Laden, but then funding Al Quieda and terrorist cells all over the world. The goal is to destroy the West and take over and be the most powerful nations on earth. Everything they have done points to this even though they have taken a very devious route to get there.

I think that their continued funding of terrorism, their hate campaign against the USA and Israel prove that they are the true enemies. The USA with its "special" relationship with them is continuing to allow them to pursue this plan unabated. It's as though we were digging our own grave. Follow the money. Until the USA takes radical action to get the Saudis in line we will continue to see the spread of this war against the West. Unfortunately, it may already be too late. Please tell me what you think of my theory. I hope I'm wrong. Eva
