I believe that with the mess in the middle east cause by the war on terror the Islamic nations must unite to either fight the extremist from within and to stop the devastation of their own people.

But is hard to do so when Saudi is nothing than a totalitarian feudal monarchy that sleeps with the west for control of oil markets.

I really find it hard to believe that Iran and Saudi are all buddy buddy now considering the Saudi's close relationship to the Americans. The Saudi's are up to something... they are always up to something, they are just as sneaky as the Isreali's sometimes...

The Saudi's certainly are a deceiving lot and no doubt have their slimy hands involved in something here. If this relationship unfolds then it goes without question that Saudi Arabia should be declared another threat (axis of evil?) and be subsequently removed. I and many others have repeatedly stated here that the Saudi's were involved knee deep in 9/11 and yet conveniently have suffered nothing as a result. Funny how things work sometimes
