IS SAUDI ARABIA the real problem?

UPDATE: Hmm. The fact that so many of the terrorists we’re killing in Iraq come from Saudi Arabia seems, on reflection, more like a feature than a bug. Saudi Arabia’s role in promoting worldwide jihadism is what led me to prioritize Saudi Arabia ahead of Iraq back in 2002. But invading Saudi Arabia would have generated a lot more problems internationally than invading Iraq, so if we can do the latter while still killing off the Saudi jihadists in large numbers maybe we’re displaying more metis than I thought . . . .
