Mule, I almost agree with you.

The arab nations need to clean up their own neighborhood. US shouldn't have to do it. The problem is how they do it. Sadam had control of terrorism in Iraq. His approach was harsh, but he had it under control. Saudi has it under control as well, similar approach is used but not to the extreme that Sadam used. And maybe, that's the only thing a fundamentalist understands, brute force.

Problem with all this is that both these countries create the have's and the have not's. Only in a democracy can people get ahead by intelligence and hard work. Without the ability to get ahead and create self worth, man's natural instinct is to rebel. A good leader can harness that desire to further his cause. And that's how someone can strap themselves with explosives and kill innocent children.
