#2 Pretty simple. Its not going to be the Dems, becaue they frankly don;t care.

And its not Bush, becuase he is a gutless idito when it comes to the Saudis.

#3 Which national government or municipality will arise from the customary dhimmi posture and ban SAA (slogan: "We aim to please you")... ?

The West: "We aim to appease you."

#5 The best response is to nuke Riyadh when all the princes and princesses are there, take over and rule the place by a consortium of Britain, Sweden, Switzerland, Japan, Australia, Brazil and the US, outlaw Wahabbism (but NOT Islam - at least, not yet), and give Kuwait or Oman the concession to operate the Haj. It'll take longer, but eventually the entire MME would change. You'd also break the back of OPEC - an agency that supports more than a few despots.

ANY problem can be solved, if you're willing to do what's necessary. Unfortunately, most of the West wants to shove the problems under the rug, rather than do the hard work of solving them.

#6 OP. Better yet return to its rightful owner - the hashemite kingdom of Jordan. You can drink in Jordan. The are educated and pro-western. Plus they don't tolerate the Paleos.

#7 The west is incapable of a proper boycott. The French or Russians would continue flights into Saudi Arabia (with some nice oil deals to boot) and nothing would change.

#8 Better yet return to its rightful owner - the hashemite kingdom of Jordan.

I was about to suggest the same thing.

Saudi-Occupied-Arabia needs to be liberated.
