So now you believe we should *ignore* local governments and just base our military desicions on some "people living there"? that sounds alot like what happened in Iran.We ignored the government in place, and chose to listen to people who were from the area, but not currently in power. come to think of it, that sounds alot like the Iraqi national congress pre invasion.

Why? we were invited by the government, if this was so abhorant, why did Bin Laudin not work to change the Saudi government and then kick us out, all nice and fair?

And this was left in place for "nearly a century" europe has newer borders, yet manages not to blow poo up so much. (except for the spanish trains, but that goes back to our buddy, doesn't it?)
You butterted that we would have grave consequences, now you "don't really keep up?" Nice...are you just throwing pointless stuff into the equation?
