    Bingo!

    Maybe everyone should leave them to thier own devises, and cut off all aide and supples to both countries.

    -- bernbart

    Not all both countries, but Egypt, the Saudis, and all the despots that perpetuate the failed state fraud that is Middle East Governance. That is exactly what we should do, get out of the way and let them fight their own battles and deal with their problems themselves, like grownups. But don't tell that to the chest thumping tough guys that want to commit your family and your wealth to fighting religious wars and absorbing blowback from its favorite country via dead Americans.

    Not supporting the policies of other countries, policies that lead to dead Americans, and instead addressing the root causes of suicide terrorism is for appeasers and "cowards".
