JIDDAH, Saudi Arabia - Saudi Arabia's foreign minister said he is less worried that U.S. policies in
Iraq will bring on a civil war there, and pledged anew to contribute $1 billion for rebuilding that war-ravaged country's shattered infrastructure.

Relations between Riyadh and Washington suffered after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks masterminded by the Saudi-born Osama bin Laden. Fifteen of the 19 hijackers were Saudis, and some U.S. officials blamed the kingdom's austere branch of Islam, known as Wahhabism, for encouraging hatred of the West, Christians and Jews.

Saudi Arabia believed it was being unjustly blamed for the actions of bin Laden, who seeks to topple the Al Saud monarchy.

PEOPLE
Saudi Arabia's 2004 population was estimated to be about 26.7 million, including about 7 million resident foreigners. Until the 1960s, most of the population was nomadic or seminomadic; due to rapid economic and urban growth, more than 95% of the population now is settled. Some cities and oases have densities of more than 1,000 people per square kilometer (2,600 per sq. mi).

Saudi Arabia is known as the birthplace of Islam, which in the century following Muhammad's death in 632 A.D. spread west to Spain and east to India. Islam obliges all Muslims to make the Hajj, or pilgrimage to Makkah, at least once during their lifetime if they are able to do so. The cultural environment in Saudi Arabia is highly conservative; the country adheres to a strict interpretation of Islamic religious law (Shari'a). Cultural presentations must conform to narrowly defined standards of ethics. Men and women are not permitted to attend public events together and are segregated in the work place.

Most Saudis are ethnically Arab. Some are of mixed ethnic origin and are descended from Turks, Iranians, Indonesians, Indians, Africans, and others, most of whom immigrated as pilgrims and reside in the Hijaz region along the Red Sea coast. Many Arabs from nearby countries are employed in the kingdom. There also are significant numbers of Asian expatriates mostly from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Indonesia, and the Philippines. There are less than 100,000 Westerners in Saudi Arabia.

The U.S.A. tax payers kick in $400 billion and over 2000 of our own brave American Service men and the Saudis give $1 billion. ?
Is this a joke or what? This is wrong. Saddam was a Arab problem from the start. Saddam was a Arab problem when he invaded Kuwait, the Saudi King Abdullah has got to be laughing at C. Rice and G.W. Bu$h, Arabs have a problem with Saddam and Iraq and the king get the U.S.A. tax payers and the war loving neocons to pay the bill to solve there problem.
Does anyone agree that a country with this much wealth should get others to solve there problems? Do you agree that U.S.A. tax payers should pay to solve a Arab problem?
