I don't disagree. KSA is a piece of ####, and yet what happens when we let them implode? Iraq and Libya will look like a walk in the park. That's not the reason we're doing it, obviously, but as much as I'd like to see that place get its justice for the garbage it's spread over the world in the last 40 years, it would be a pretty bad scene.
