I do not know how some Americans do not see the truth about the Saudis. Is it politeness or bribes?
Saudi Arabia is behind most Islamist violance in the whole world.
America thinks that Iraq is an evil but Saudi Arabia, Iran and Syria are the most evil countries in the whole world. I do not think Saddam is as evil as the Saudi government.
I think Saddam is crazy but not evil. The evil ones are the Saudi princes who talk differently from how they act. They say they are friends to America but in reality, they want to destroy it or take it over though Islam. That is why Saudi Arabia pays to build mosques all over America and pays money to who ever converts to islam.
Saudi Arabia in particular has the petro dollars to spread around the whole world to preach Islam or hate. They are are known in the the whole world to buy the governments, the TV and the newspaper writers. That is why I am not surprised to see after 9/11 some American big shots do not see the truth about the Moslems and Saudi Arabia and still defend Islam and Saudi Arabia. I think these Americans who still defend Islam do not want to see the truth because the money blinds them.
