On a positive note, it appears to take al Qa'ida nine to ten months to organize a major attack. We had a major attack on September 11 2001, another one last year in Bali, and now this one in Riyadh. We should not expect another attack like this for another nine months.
Also, I do not see how such an attack can lead to an al Qa'ida takeover of Saudi Arabia. They need to take out the royal family. I believe such an attack on the royal family was organized, but it was frustrated by the Saudi authorities.
However, this terrorist attack may be effective in driving foreigners out of Saudi Arabia, most particularly the Americans. Such would not be good for Saudi Arabia economically. Without foreigners present, al Qa'ida may also be weakened because their basic argument is that foreigners defile the soil, the holy soil of the land of Mecca in Medina..http://tools.wikimedia.de/~gmaxwell/jorbis/JOrbisPlayer.php?path=John+Williams+The+Imperial+M arch+from+The+Empire+Strikes+Back.ogg&wiki=enComment

We already know the meaning of American justice: blow up a bunch of stuff with cruise missiles, send a few Special Forces to run around, let everone important get away, get bored, leave.President Bush said Tuesday that those responsible for suicide bombings in Saudi Arabia that left dozens of people dead, including seven Americans, would "learn the meaning of American justice."Comment

Ned: Didn't Al Qaeda plot to blow up Western Ships in the straights of Gibraltar a while back? Also there was the buffolo cell which the FBI broke up and I believe the Pakis stopped an embassy suicide plane attack earlier this year.
These guys are hatching all sorts of plots but it seems most of them get broken up before they can pull them off.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

What we really need is for our politicians to understand the political capital value of a show trial. Then we would see some arrests, wouldn't we?http://tools.wikimedia.de/~gmaxwell/jorbis/JOrbisPlayer.php?path=John+Williams+The+Imperial+M arch+from+The+Empire+Strikes+Back.ogg&wiki=enComment

What do you mean saying "successful attack"? 50+ killed? Hours of TV news?Originally posted by Ned

Yeah, right now we only give secret military trials which are completely anti-climactic.Originally posted by Ned

I have yet to hear of anyone actually being given a military tribunal and I didn't know they were supposed to be secret. Last I heard they were just going to be a military court and not a civilian court.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

Hey, a little hyperbole never hurt anyone.
Not sure, but I think they are supposed to be secret, and if so how would you know whats gone on?

True, however... as long as there's a history of oppression that unites them, in the immediate term there's more of a sense of common cause (by whatever means to advance that cause) than there is of separate identity.
Subverting them and exploiting their differences will take time.
