When do you intend to invade Saudi Arabia and overthrow the Saudi
royal family, who was doing the same thing long before Saddam took
up the practice? 

From <http://www.weeklystandard.com/content/public/articles/000/000/001/072kqska.asp>:

    	The Saudis stand behind all of it. The kingdom pledged $400
    million last year for the support of "martyrs' families,"
    according to the Saudi Embassy website. At $5,300 per
    "martyr," that works out to about 75,000 martyrs, suggesting
    the Saudi princes anticipate a lot more suicide bombings than
    Israel has yet suffered.

 George Bush's War of Choice on Iraq is a totally unnecessary war. 
  Every life lost, every limb lost, every disfigurement, every 
 disability caused there is more blood on George W. Bush's hands, 
   and on the hands of everyone who voted for George W. Bush.
 The more you know, the less likely you were to vote for Bush.
