About LinkBacksThey have a tyrannical government, which justifies an invasion. Plus we want oil, and they have oil, and America's needs come before the rest of the world, because we're the most powerful and greatest nation ever, and we can do whatever we want. I say we commence with Operation Soaring Eagle.
1. They have oil.
2. Their government commits human rights violations and religious persecution is rife in the region.
3. Their a dictatorship.
4. It would help our economy, just like WW2 helped end the Great Depression.
5. We have to get back at them for declaring an embargo on us.
6. We can give it a bad-ass codename like Operation Soaring Eagle.
7. Did I mention they have oil?

The US needs to keep what friends it actually has. Let the Sauds sort their own house.
Also, I'm not sure where you think the US is going to get all of this money to "liberate" other countries.Lasting change is a series of compromises. And compromise is all right, as long as your values don't change.

Where did you get that figure? The actual amount is much higher. That amount wouldn't keep a single airwing or regiment going for a year. Originally Posted by Destiny

After hearing someone shout out an errant answer, we work to understand it, which causes us to reassess our initial assumptions and try out new perspectives. “Authentic dissent can be difficult, but it’s always invigorating,” Nemeth says.

Let's not forget the real reason why Bush loves Saudi Arabia:
His DADT obvious sexual attraction to Saudi royalty!
He has all the virtues I dislike and none of the vices I admire.
