The Supreme Court Just Issued The Ruling We’ve All Been Waiting For

Actually, the Bin laden family in Saudi Arabia formally disowned Osama after 9/11/01. Bin Laden and Al Qaeda have likely been funded by Muslim sympathizers from around the world (and yes, right here in the US too).

Saudi Arabia does indeed still teach anti-West hatred in their madrassas. However, they sit on roughly 20% of the world's crude oil. That gives them a unique business position. No country that does not produce most of its own oil can ignore them. Could we survive without Saudi Arabia? Most likely. However, we also sell lots of arms to them and they allow us use of military bases in their country from which we launch various operations. That and the fact that Saudi Arabia cannot and is too lazy to defend itself keeps the military relations between the US and Saudi Arabia strong. Also, Saudi Arabia is NOT a terrorist nation; they just teach the hatred that other Islamic countries use to actually commit terrorist acts. Thus, Saudi Arabia will never be on a "terrorist nation" list.

Should be minimize our relations with Saudi Arabia? Absolutely, IMHO. We can survive without them. They cannot eat oil. We should also minimize our presence and activity in the Middle East too. Let the nations in the region figure things out on their own. We can deal with whomever is left standing.
