This is nothing new. What the US NEEDS to do is to restrict the Saudi regime aility to finace all those Wahabi and salafi mosques and islamic schools, to stop them financing terrorist groups, basically to finally take their responsabilities against their "old friends" and restrict their financial might. The rest of the mainstream muslim world will keep its fight but it can't do it alone.

I completley agree. I hope that the majority-good Muslim world realizes that their religion is being hijacked. We had a handful of ex-cia cohorts and the willing Palestinans, Saudis and Afghanis they trained, organized and supporting terrorism against civilians as a way to achieve positive political change in the modern world. And that is not wise.
The Saudis are very focused on keeping their wealth. I believe that they may have wanted the superior US technology, to precisely attack Iraq, a direct threat to their existance in the world, more than Israel.
We must not forget those liberties that we were promised by the constitution in this post 9-11 world. I know there will be changes and we will have to sacrifice alot of rights in the new millenium, but let's not forget those basic rights.
