Saudis Give a Grim What If Should U.S. Opt to Leave Iraq

Saudi Arabia has told the Bush administration that it might provide financial backing to Iraqi Sunnis in any war against Iraq’s Shiites if the United States pulls its troops out of Iraq, according to American and Arab diplomats.



Wow. Simply wow. There's a huge amount of hate in the Arab culture around the Sunni/Shiite split. The rest of the article is pretty sobering. The Saudi's have been funding alot of this hate for a long time, and now plan to continue to do so in order to "protect themselves". Maybe this will be how Islam has its much needed Reformation.
