Finally! everyone knows they (Saudi Arabia) sponsor terrorists. US maybe finally will end with hypocrisy, you are against terrorism with zero toleration rule? or you are against it only when it's not against your interest. Democratic, western values are much more important in this case than couple of $.

What I find surprising is lack of awareness among people regarding SA. Stopping SA is a very effective strategy to mitigate terrorism. The politicians and media are brought by SA money. But why people in the West are not doing anything about this, they are not getting money from SA.

EDIT: Why the downvote?

I didn't downvote you, however this:

> What I find surprising is lack of awareness among people regarding SA

There is not a lack of awareness. It's widely known that 1) Saudi is not any sort of friend to the US 2) it exports Islamic extremism 3) nearly all of the hijackers were Saudi 4) the Saudi kingdom, to some extent or another, had an involvement in enabling 9/11 5) Saudi Arabia is extremely backwards and oppressive when it comes to human rights

I've yet to meet an American that didn't have some knowledge of one or all of those points.
