Sal,

You are way off base on your points Re the Saudis and OBL/Al Queda connection. The Saudi connection to radical Islam goes back to the beginning. It did not start with OBL/AlQueda and it will not end there. It is safe to say that being the oldest money in the Ottoman empire that the vast majority of radicals were educated in Saudi schools. Saudi schools are headed up by clerics. they were unsupervised by the Saudi govt. Re content for 40 or more years. The students have since have spread out to the 4 corners of the world preaching teaching their brand or Islam. It is only logical that the majority of support comes from Saudi nationals. You can then move down the line and find a similar trend for other wealthy Islamic states and their schools. it is cultural and has been for a long time.
