Meh, the Saudis are corrupt anyways. While I dont like bloodshed, if this had happened maybe a democratic government coulda been set up in Saudi Arabia

Remember all the Bush administration spin about how the Iraq War led the Libyans to straighten up and fly right? Well, that's all down the tubes now if this turns out to be true.

Look, if Bush can "pre-empt" (<--- meaningless buzz word)

wait... make that: If Bush can launch an invasion into a nonthreatening nation, drop DU all over the countryside and have the CIA rape civilian POWs in Iraq -- then why can't Libya oust a represive monarch?

Please take Texas out of your name, You are making a joke out of that great state.

why should the US care if the Head of State in Libya wants to kill the king of Saudi Arabia? I don't think it's any of our business... Hell, I wouldn't care if he killed the king of England... The monarchy system is finished, and never was a friend of America --

Heh-heh. If true, would be quite embarrassing for Shrub, but especially so for Bliar, the enthusiastic visitor to Lybian tents. Well, as if this (http://www.reuters.com/newsArticle.jhtml?type=worldNews&storyID=5398546&section=news) wasn't enough already. :twisted:

A plot to kill Crown Prince Abdullah certainly is not welcome news, as Abdullah is a relatively reform-minded fellow. Should he die, more conservative members of the royal family would be next in line to succeed King Fahd (himself, very much of ill health). If Saudi implodes under the conservative royals' misrule, Usama & Co. would be the only clear beneficiaries.

so kill the whole royal family then...

Hell, if you're going to do a job, do it right...

so? If that is what the majority of the people of a far away land want then why should I care???

Well, if you don't own a car and have enough gold bullion stashed away to last you through a severe economic downturn, then you shouldn't :lol:
As for a revolutionary upheaval in Saudi... they tried that in other places in 1789, 1917, even as recently as 1979. Didn't work out to well, I'd say :wink:

Many people far better educated than myself, warned that the illegal attack and invasion of Iraq would set a precedent for smaller, less 'democratic' nations. Seems they were right.

"Well if the US, that great self-proclaimed bastion of freedom and democracy can do it, why shouldn't we? Why, we don't even need to worry about the UN anymore thanks to that God-fearing Mister Bush"

Tell me, who's the biggest hypocrite, the bully who makes no attempt at pretending to be nice and leaps at any chance to grab a bit of land or wipe out a few people, or the bully who bangs on about democracy, faith, and freedom?

I have a joke about texas... it involves me sticking my dick in it's imaginary butt.

:wink:

If the colonies implode under King George's misrule, Washington and Co. would be the only clear beneficiaries.

so? If that is what the majority of the colonist want, then so be it! sure, if you don't like owning all of the fancy things we steal from them :lol:
