re: #99 Dark_Falcon

It’s the reason I am so, so hawkish against Saudi Arabia. I want the Salafists wrecked so badly they don’t come back.

Right now, the Shias in the Oil-Rich part of the nation are doing protests. I say, support them.

Here’s info about one of the most important dudes in the Shia Saudi community, Nimr al-Nimr.

In August 2008, he said that he sees US citizens as a natural ally of Shia as the thinking of both US citizens and Shia is “based on justice and liberty”

He believes that the Saudi government is “particularly reactionary” and that “agitation” is needed to influence governments in general and the Saudi government in particular.

I think we might be able to get them (The Saudi Shia) onto our side if we decided to break with the Saud family.
