OK, one more.
In an article in today’s American Prowler, Lawrence Henry makes some thoughtful points. I’ve also read Clancy’s Every Man a Tiger and I was intrigued at the time by the huge gulf between the attitudes of the professional Saudi military officers Chuck Horner dealt with during GWI and the apparent attitudes of the Saudi ruling family.
Maybe we really don’t have the problem with the Saudis that many (including me) think we do. Maybe the princes are about to overextend themselves and wear out their welcome. Would a military government in Saudi that was friendly to the U.S. really be such a bad thing?
It’s something to ponder.
