I agree with that.  Jordan has the same problem caused by the same people.  IMO
al-Qaida
hasn't had much luck here and in Europe lately so they're going after smaller
countries that
have large Muslim populations and maintain relations - even if not necessarily
friendly
relations - with the western world.  Their goal, after all, is the creation of
a multi-nation
caliphate that will eventually govern the entire world.

True.

I won't go quite that far.  Wahabbi's are a minority in Saudi Arabia, and they
really aren't
all that popular there (like the really kooky Christian fundamentalists here). 
The Saudi
government is going to have to deal with them, harshly, before they get strong
enough to
take down the House of Saud.
