Which Is Worst? Saudi Arabia or Pakistan?
Personally I think they're both thriving nests of terrorism,
that are vying with each other to be the worst. http://www.msnbc.com/news/790452.asp?0na=x2207130-

Doubt this will be a popular poll---does it matter? Quote: |

| You know they are, and we should treat any enemy of the USA equally...

"Saudi Arabia supports our enemies and attacks our allies,” said the briefing prepared by Laurent Murawiec, a Rand Corporation analyst. A talking point attached to the last of 24 briefing slides went even further, describing Saudi Arabia as “the kernel of evil, the prime mover, the most dangerous opponent” in the Middle East"
I don't beleive that the Pakistanis have the resources or know how to be on the same level as the Saudis. I believe, except maybe for Great Britian, we're out on a limb with no one to catch us if we fall.

Although Pakistan may not be contributing as much funds as
Saudia Arabia they are definitely providing the footsoldiers from the over ten thousand madrassas operating in Pakistan.

The reason I brought this up is because Iraq is being
portrayed as the worst, whereas I see both Pakistan and
Saudi Arabia as being much worse threats to the West.
I feel that things would improve greatly in Iraq if Saddam
was eliminated.
Top Ten Perks Of Being Saddam Hussein's Stepson
10. For your birthday, you get the head of an infidel
9. People never refer to you as "The crazy one in the family"
8. On weekends, you get to bring home weapons of mass destruction
7. Don't want to clean your room? Threaten to tell the United States dad's exact location
6. Play your cards right and in 10 years you'll be torturing the Iraqi people
5. Unique chance to observe a tyrannical madman up close
4. Big inheritance when U.S. troops finally kill your stepfather
3. Father-son bonding over 3am prank calls to U.N. weapons inspectors
2. You can get first pick of the police auction's seized and repossessed camels
1. Get to call Bin Laden "Uncle Osama"

I think we should just drop pictures of Hiroshima and Nagasaki all over the Middle East.
Maybe they'll get the message before it's too late.

Saudi Arabia is definitely more of a threat to our country.The biggest problem holding the bush administartion back at the moment, and in my opinion, is that we are so dependent on the middle east for oil. If it weren't for certain organizations and groups in this country, we would not have to worry about oil embargo's.
But hey, I love being dependent on enemy nations for our largest energy supply, don't you?
