    Fuck no. We should stop sending aid to their government before we even consider invading.

    confessions of an economic hitman is a decent book to read to figure out why saudi arabia is as good of a friend to the US as any ...

    Yes and yes. Take out the oppressors and take the oil! Cut the middle man out. Logistically, it will be much easier to invade and rebuild the country, versus a large country like Iraq.

    We are dealing with a misogynistic set of "kings and royalty" that are bending us over. Fuck 'em.

    WTF, really, you want the US to invade Saudi Arabia over ‘women issues’ when they didn’t even blink a goddamn eye towards Saudi Arabia after 9/11. Good luck with that!!!!
    SIN EATERS--We take the moral excrement we find in this equation and we bury it down deep inside of us so that the rest of our case can stay pure. That is the job. We are morally indefensible and absolutely necessary.

    Just remember, 4 of the 19 9/11 hijackers were NOT from Saudi Arabia... This isn't a reason to go to war there, but why the fuck did we bomb Iraq and Afghanistan?

    How much more would you be willing to pay for a gallon of gas if we refused their oil?

    What did George Carlin say? - Oh yeah:

    "We enjoy war.

    And one reason we enjoy it is that we're good at it. You know why we're good at it? Because we get alot of practice. This country is only 200 years old, and already we've had ten major wars. We average a major war every twenty years, So we're good at it!

    And it's just as well we are, because we're not very good at anything else. Can't build a decent car anymore. Can't make a TV set, a cell phone, or a VCR. Got no steel industry left. No textiles. Can't educate our young people. Can't get health care to our old people. But we can bomb the shit outta your country, all right. We can bomb the shit outta your country!

    If You're Brown, You're Goin Down

    Especially if your country is full of brown people. Oh, we like that, don't we? That's our hobby now. But it's also our new job in the world: bombing brown people. Iraq, Panama, Grenada, Libya. You got some brown people in your country? Tell 'em to watch the fuck out, or we'll goddamn bomb them!"

    No more war. No more hate.

    I love how there's no good reason for it... unless the women over there are really bad drivers too. :lol:

    Seriously though, it probably stems down to the penis size of the men over there. They obviously have insecurity issues.

    Takes us right back to Carlin again:

    " To me war is a lot of prick waving. OK? Simple thing that's all it is. War is a whole lot of men standing out on the field waving their pricks at one another. Men are insecure about the size of their dicks and so they have to kill one another over the idea."

    The point you are trying to make is so irrelevant and myopic to me. I don't really give a fuck about that, but I do about how much money is wasted in "aid" to an oppressive government that only likes us because we pay them off.

    Sure....sounds like a great plan....invading Mecca and Medina would not bother any of the millions and millions of Muslims living across the globe...not a one, I say....The Ottomans in the 19th and 20th centuries could never derive the full of power of these cities to rally a wide-spread jihad when they held them....because the Ottomans were dead broke....bankrupt even....just imagine the full strength of Saudi money tied to a jihadist call to repel the infidel hordes from the holiest of holy cities...not a pretty picture

    That's just as bad and doesn't justify our war behavior.

    As to the US/Imperial (+Fascist) Germany comparison, I was not attempting to wipe the blame from the ole US of A. I was just showing that the war record for Imperial states is going to be very similar. The war records of Great Britain and Russia/Soviet Union probably mirror that of the US and Germany when viewed over the same time span. In olden days, the kingdoms of Britain and France spent decades at war against each other. No culture or race has a monopoly on war...nor does any culture or race have a monopoly on peace.

    I've worked at a VA hospital for over 30 years and see the casualties of war every day. It's heartbreaking to see 20 year old kids with traumatic brain injuries, no limbs, and spinal cord injuries and those are just the visible signs. The mental health units are bursting at the seams with PTSD patients. From what I see every day, the sacrifice is not worth it. The last thing we need is another war.
    Be kind whenever possible.
    It is always possible.
