Saudi-paradox is becoming USA-Saudi Paradox
Reader comment on item: The Scandal of U.S.-Saudi Relations
Submitted by Lance Silver (United States), Sep 5, 2003 at 20:36
As Saudi Arabia fires the furnaces and manufactures the fuel for Terrorism by supporting officially Wahhabism so does the USA fuel Terrorism by supporting Saudi Arabia; especially by not criticising as often as possible the educational materials taught to the Adult and Youth cultures in Saudi Arabi.All Americans should be educated ASAP about this Islamic philosophy.
