Should the US attack Saudi Arabia?

Question

Now that the pentagon is charging a Saudi Arabian for the bombing of the USS Cole. Should they not attack an entire country?

Answer 1

There are some bad apples in every barrel so why throw all of them away> Cull out the bad 1 and keep the good 1s>

Answer 2

The holiest sites in Islam are located in that country.  If Bush et al want to p**s off every Muslim who is just waiting for another reason to hate (and perhaps attack) the US, by all means we should.

Answer 3

The mere fact that citizens of a country may be terrorists, does not make that country a sponsor of terrorism.   Saudi Arabia is NOT a sponsor of terrorism.   It is a well respected member of the world community, and such an act would find no support either here in America nor elsewhere in the world.

Answer 4

no...Iran now..thats another question

Answer 5

I dont belives so but we need to drill our own oil

Now Iran is a whole different story...~~~

Answer 6

NO

Answer 7

If the goal is to start world war 3 then yes

Attacking Saudi Arabia would be seen as an attack on all of Islam.

Answer 8

The time for that would have been Sept. 12, 2001 (15 of the 19 hijackers were Saudis -- the other four Egyptians, another supposed Arab ally of the US).  We could have rolled them up like an old rug, and that would have brought all the secular Arabs (like Saddam) back to our side.  Saddam was our ally once before in the 1980's, and likely would have been again if it served his interests.  The SOB was nothing if not a survivor.  Unfortunately, we've let too much time elapse.  On Sept 12, 2001 the country was more united than at any time since WW2.  Now, we're more divided than at any time since the War Between the States.  So sadly, it's not going to happen now.

Answer 9

Saudi Arabian and Israel have a special position in the mind of the US government

Iran is the next set of lies to con America into an unjust war

Answer 10

Paranoia, an obsession for revenge, and gross irrationality dominate this administration. No country is safe - but they won't invade Saudi Arabi.  Corruption understands the corrupt, "friendly" Sauds.

Regarding Iran, the National Security Estimates - which everybody seems to have conveniently forgotten - stated about two months ago that there is no PROOF that Iran is producing atomic/nuclear weapons, which is what they have been saying all along.  Moreover Sy Hersh reports this week that covert missions have been harassing and provoking regime change in Iran for the last several months, if not the last two years...  Who's promoting state terrorism, here?  

WASHINGTON, that's who!!

Answer 11

They should, but most likely they won't, since they're friends with the Bush family.
