Saudi Arabia is a place where the people want to live according to the stone age rules. I don't care about them, as long as these people stay there and leave everyone else at peace. But what is happening is that every year hundreds of billions of USD is given out by the Saudis, to spread their stone age ideology elsewhere. I just hope that the falling oil prices will stop this.
Surely the US will call for regime change?
Strange that one of America's staunchest allies is also one of the most backward countries on this planet. Guess money (oil) can buy everything.
Regime change is only when a country with oil refuses to tow the line on US's economic policies.
If Saudi decides to sell crude in EUR, you will find the US talking about human rights, support to terrorism and regime change.
Exactly what happened to Saddam Hussein, he was on the verge of turning against the petro-dollar just before the US invasion. He'd probably still be alive and in power if hadn't try gone against US interests.
The UN Security Council should be given more teeth and should be the only organization in charge of policing the world.
terrorist, I don't care if you are from the us state dep or what ever other organization, but let me tell you, pattu1, you are a terrorist. pure and simple. why? if failure is globally systemic where is the hope? decentralization.
personally I will not emit an opinion on political or monarchal Saudi Arabia, not my pb.
However on the religious side, I profit of this post to say that in my opinion it's excellent. here is why:
0) Salah is preserved and respected
1) the Quran is defended
2) the Hadj is open to all Muslims
3) the Quran is shared with those wanting to listen
= very good (but it's just my opinion, so who cares, no one should btw)
okay I go for a political one: can the plant of the creation called weed be smoked legally there? you know the answer.
