It's Saudi Arabia. Most of us liberals aren't very fond of it. Personally, I regard them as the source of a lot of trouble for America. I think they're much closer in connection to Al Qaeda than Afghanistan or especially Iraq have ever been. Plus, that country is rough on civil liberties and especially women to a degree that makes other countries in the region seem pretty modern by comparison.

They seem more like the allies of guys like Bush and Cheney and other oily fatcats than they are actually any kind of ally to America or its people.

Basically, Saudi Arabia dealing with Al Qaeda is kind of like Bush dealing with Saddam -- it's like management dealing with an unruly employee.
