American media are quick to be critical of the Saudi's approach to Al-Qaeda. I admit it is hard to tell whether their hearts are really in it. Our press doesn't seem to appreciate that the Saudis made a deal with the Islamic fundamentalist devils long ago and may now be trying to figure a way out of it. If they went after them the way we would like them to, they would be out of power in short order. We are in the unenviable position of having to humor them. Yet this angle appears only rarely in the press. They seem more interested in casting the good guys and bad guys. Alas, if it were only that simple!
