Not necessarily. When you combine that fact with the fact that Saudis have been behind many, many terrorist attacks on US and ally targets... a pattern forms. It's clear, from these alone, that Saudi Arabia is the source of most "terrorists" (violent muslim extremists). That's hardly a moot point.

OBL actively worked to topple the Saudi regime and was expelled. I think it is a safe bet that as far as state sponsored terrorism is concerned OBL and Al Qaeda have no ties with the Saudi government.

So because one terrorist that worked for the Saudis for over a decade finally turns on them Saudi Arabia has no ties to terrorism? That makes absolutely no sense. Besides that, as I said above, the Saudi government and royal families helped to finance 9/11 according to official intelligence reports that were hidden by the Bush administration. Why? Simple. The Bush family and Saudis have long-standing ties through oil, and the financing of 9/11 was tied in with friends of the Bush family. These are top ranking government officials and royalty.
