Who is the real enemy? Iran? or Saudi Arabia?

Iranian-financed guns are shooting at our kids in Iraq, right? They're part of the axis of evil, right? And so maybe we should expand our war into Iran?

The fact is that more Saudi-financed guns are shooting a lot more of our soldiers than Iranian ones. So why aren't we building a case against the Saudi-backed Sunni militants? Could it be because the Saudi royal family are friends with our boy W? Could it be because we get oil from Saudi Arabia?

Why, Mr. President, are we going after the Iranians instead of the Saudis?

  1. The source of islamic radicalism (notice how the latter part of the phrase has conveniently been absorbed to create islamism):Saudi Arabia. The most corrupt regime in the middle east: Saudi Arabia.

    So why not go after them? I think the problem goes beyond backstage allegiances and economic interests now. There is no way that the United States can now deal with Saudi Arabia. It has lost all credibility in the Islamic world. Any move by a new administration would be seen as a serious attack on muslims world wide and we will have crusade redux. The post 9/11 window to cleanse the world of islamic fanaticism has closed,possibly forever.
