The Quiet Before The Storm

[HARDCORE]

Saudi Arabia, little more than a desolate sand-pit before the discovery of it?s vast sea of oil, apparently had more than merely ?Black Gold? hidden just beneath it?s surface! And back in 1991, it was not just ?Tiny, Oil Rich Kuwait? that the Coalition defended against the ambitions of ?Saddam Hussein and Iraq?, but rather Saudi Arabia and the entire region!

The terrorism that struck at our hearts and souls on 11 September 2001, was not the first (nor the last) lunge at the backs of freedom undertaken by foreign elements who seek to conquer and destroy from out of the shadows!

Another vicious attack on Monday targeted, not only US interests in the Middle East, but also the Saudis themselves. I did, however, find it disturbing that Saudi Arabia itself has been a breeding grounds for some of the elements of disaster! Of the 29 (reportedly) who perished in the four separate blasts, 9 turned out to be the bombers themselves! Also (reportedly) killed in the blasts were at least seven Americans and a relative of the City?s Deputy Governor. This, of course, is not counting the wounded, 200 or more.

What amazes me the most, however, is the fact that 15 of the 19 terrorists involved in the September 11 attacks were Saudis, as was Osama bin Laden himself. And just last week, the Saudi Arabian government issued an all-points bulletin for 19 men, 17 of whom were Saudi citizens. These men are suspected of planning the attacks that took place on Monday!

"So what?s with the Saudis?" Had it not been for the United States and the Coalition back in 1991, Saudi Arabia might well have become ?Iraq-South? some 12 years ago? Are a few in Saudi Arabia now attempting to accomplish with terrorism, what Hussein tried and failed to do with his army? And are not the Saudis too, being targeted by terrorists?

Apparently, the "Reluctant Saudis (i.e. Gulf War II)", are beginning to feel the bite of the snake that a few within their nation helped to create!

?So what now?!?

VERITAS :cd:
