Why would they cancel the gala without an explanation?,,,,,,17 of April hey?,,,,,put it in your diary,,,,,they know of an impending terrorist attack in the US I've never trusted them feul pump attendants (The Saudies)

Not even the entire Arab league combined can defeat Israel alone. Why do they continually posture with threat of war? If they attack this time, we will also have aid of nearby carrier groups, nuclear subs, and tomahawk missiles. Why do they fool themselves that there will not be another disaster? They cannot win. They are 21 kittens threatening a lion, (two lions really) and they know it. I just don't understand what they are thinking, why expect a different outcome than 1948 or 1967? Someone please explain to me why they think they can win now?

as your friends and allies. They are so reliable and never would backstab you, right?

and forget about the US. The US proved to favor Israel over all Arabs for no reason except that many Americans view Israel through a biblical eye. They do not know that this struggle is only in the 20th century. It is not a struggle between religions but rather between colonialism and indigineous people. I advice Americans to read: "Understanding Arabs A Guide for Westerners"

Saudis were never true friends of the West, and particular of the US due to their extreme Islamic position.

please give a look at ; With Iranian President Ahmadinejad Photo: Reuters *** now ! tell me what you see ? I tell you what I see ! a rich man meets a homeless man. Rich man gives that man a life ! and a new clothe (but cheap one, rich people always tight ! you know it ) than the rich man takes the homeless into public to show that how good man he is.... HERE IS MY POINT ! mentality differences !!! between two. but both are stay at an end edge of political life. MIDDLE WAY IS ALWAYS THE BEST WAY. dont wear white in winter dont wear warm pullover in summer why ? AS THE WORDS WE USE CONTROL OUR LIVES, THE STYLE WE HAVE CAN DETERMINE OUR FUTURE. in today, we dont need to see PROPHETS to save whole world. in today, we dont need to have very rich countries and seeing poor kids hungry in same time. middle way is BEST WAY in everyting. in religions in politics in relations and in love lets catch todays facts love Atilla Karagözoğlu

America's foreign policy is flawed because it tries to find allies in a region where it only has enemies. The Saudis represent an ideological movement that is hostile to the West, especially the West as represented by the US. Nothing will change that basic reality.

Lebanon.

It is a fact of life that whenever there is a political vacuum on this planet, surrounding countries, powers, even thugs, will try to take over. Nature has decreed that it shall be so. It is time to take a step back and clarify our needs. The Arabs and Russia see the future as theirs, by controlling the West through its insatiable apetite for oil & gas. Simply get out of Iraq and heal the wounds. Study history. It is yet to be realised by all sides that we need each other, if we are to perpetuate mankind's presence on this planet. Should Russia and OPEC decide to kill off the West, they too will suffer. China couldn't care less about foreign policies, it just deals with everybody, good, bad, indifferent ... and is doing very nicely, thank you. It is pointless to act with principle and integrity where it isn't recognised ... and it isn't! When the machine gun was first invented, the British considered its use unethical ... nobody else did! Times have changed. The people's of all nations are averse to war, so let us take a step back from this intractible situation and think again ... without sticking our bottom lip out ... or we can continue the way you're going and get nowhere. The quick solution is to split Iraq into sections on the proviso that we are supplied with oil, which we will pay for. The alternative is out and out war and years of suffering and the possible destruction of all oil reserves ... now, which would you choose? Sometimes there is much to be gained by eating a little humble pie. The other guy feels great ... but there it ends ... think. When dealing with road rage, it is best to remain silent until the ranting stops, only taking action when necessary. When dealing with the Iranians ... stop reacting ... lie low for a week or so. Let things settle. They have captured a young mother ... and?

yes it is expetced from u to flex muscles as usual, this is so typical of the US and Israel, but here this who lives by the sword dies by the same sword.

HE TURNED AWAY SAUDI MONEY AFTER 9/11. aND HE'LL TURN IT AWAY AGAIN TIME TO BUY HYBRIDS EVERYONE !!

Yes, look what sth Lebanon looks like now after the war..... a complete mess.........Iran will look even worse

The Saudis needed the Americans because they were afraid of Saddam, and so they pretended to be friendly with the US even though deep down they are more inclined towards the radically muslim jehadis. And now that they don't need the Americans, they're flexing their petro muscles again. What the West should do : hurry up and create a car that does not need petrol. Just as internet telephony put telecom companies on the verge of bankruptcy, the fossilfuel-free car should severely limit on Saudi's power in the region.

They think they can win this time because they're stupid. If they can be convinced that they will have 70 virgins in paradise if they blow themselves up in a cafe, they'll believe ANYthing.

withdraw from iraq and let the sunnis (saudis) and shiites (iran) fight it out...let the region go to hell, why not? they hate each other and the only thing keeping them from really butchering the hell out of each other is the american soldiers diverting their attention and ammunition...

because it's tired of the double standards of the USA and the US blind support of israel murders !

Bush is finding out the real truth about his Arab "friends"...shake your hand today, stab you in the back tomorrow. The Saudis are going for the kill on Israel and don't want to take "no" for an answer.

We've protected them from their own oppressed people for far too long. They are are, and always have been a waste of our time and efforts.

since you are in Mumbai , why don't you stick some hot Indian pepper in your ass then you will know why !

because it's tired of the double standards !

I only hope that US or any other country will invent eventually a substitute for oil, then let these great arab leaders use their oil for their swimming pools. These idiots think they rule the world only by virtue of sitting on oil reserves, which they can't even properly develop, distribute and invest oil money without western expertise. What baffles me that the civilized world seriously talks, engages and triesto co-operate with Mid East despots,unelected rulers, for what?Let them rot in their sands.

'War was a catastrophe' New book reveals that in secret meeting held immediately after war in Lebanon, Mossad and Shin Bet chiefs demanded establishment of commission of inquiry into failures, hinted then-Chief of Staff Halutz must resign Full Story . . .
