I mean it. The civilized world needs to invade Saudi Arabia or better yet nuke it from orbit since it is the source of most of the world's terrorist ideology, much of the terrorists bomb money, and huge numbers of terrorists. Not only are most Al Qaeda members we know about Saudi but the number one source for Islamic terrorist funds come from Saudi Arabia and most of the foreign fighters killed or captured in Iraq are Saudis. Saudi Aradia is a deeply evil society just like Nazi Germany was and it wants to export it's ideology of death and dustruction for the nonmuslim world and even for the nonfundimentalist muslim world.
Who are the foreign fighters in Iraq?
An NBC News analysis finds 55 percent hail from Saudi Arabia
An NBC News analysis of hundreds of foreign fighters who died in Iraq over the last two years reveals that a majority came from the same country as most of the 9/11 hijackers — Saudi Arabia.
Among the suicide bombers was Ahmed al-Ghamdi, a one-time medical student and son of a Saudi diplomat. In December 2004, he climbed into a truck in Mosul and blew himself up.
On an Internet video, another Saudi says goodbye to his mother, then drives an ambulance full of explosives into a building.

They are among more than 400 militants from 21 countries whose deaths were celebrated on Islamic Web sites over the last two years.
"By far the nationality that comes up over and over again is Saudi Arabia," says Evan Kohlmann, an NBC News terrorism expert.
The NBC News analysis of Web site postings found that 55 percent of foreign insurgents came from Saudi Arabia, 13 percent from Syria, 9 percent from North Africa and 3 percent from Europe.
The U.S. military also says Saudi Arabia and Syria are the leading sources of insurgents. An Army official provided a list of the top 10 countries to NBC News but would not release the numbers of foreign fighters from each. The top 10, alphabetically, are: Egypt, Iran, Jordan, Lebanon, the Palestinian territories, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Syria, Tunisia and Yemen.
"You have some from poor families, some jobless," says Kohlmann. "You also have individuals that come from wealthy families, that come from a life of privilege and substance and material goods and material wealth."
Why do they go?
Saudis captured in Iraq say it's because of pictures on Arab television network Al-Jazeera.
"We saw the Americans massacring the Iraqis," says one Saudi prisoner in Iraq via translation.
Radical Saudi clerics urge them to go to Iraq to kill Americans.
"I read the communique of the 26 clerics," says another Saudi prisoner in Iraq.
Saudi officials insist they've made great strides in the war on terror and are doing everything possible to stop men from going to Iraq.
"When we have the evidence, we arrest those people and we put them in jail and take them to court because this is illegal," says Mansour al-Turki, spokesman for the Saudi Ministry of the Interior.
Monday night, a senior Saudi official expressed skepticism — especially about the Internet eulogies of slain fighters — saying he won't believe that many Saudis have died in Iraq until he sees the DNA evidence to prove it.

There'll be jack you can do about it if they do anyway, so that's wasted effort.
