Bush making the world a more dangerous place

The Bush-Cheney war of convenience is now having negative repercussions in Saudi Arabia. OK, I have a laundry list of issues with the Saudi government but this one is interesting. Anyone could have seen this one coming (anyone except the usual suspects) but it looks like the war could have the impact of speeding up the decline of Saudi rule. Where did all of the realism go that the Rep's like to think that they have? The region is looking at years of new problems and fighting from this war.

"An increasing number of Saudis who crossed the border into Iraq to fight the U.S.-led military occupation are returning home to plot attacks against the Saudi government and Western targets in the desert kingdom, according to Western counterterrorism officials and Saudis with ties to militant groups.

Some Western officials express fear that the homecoming will grow if Iraq stabilizes. They also say they worry that the trend could become an echo of the 1990s, when thousands of Saudis traveled to Afghanistan to enlist in training camps sponsored by al Qaeda and other Islamic groups."
