Saudi-Arabia apparently does not share Washington optimistic assumptions about Iraq's future. Since jihaddis and terroists do enter or exit Iraq via Syria for the main, not SA, the fence can only have one reasonable function: to prevent huge refugee movements from Iraq to SA in case the civil war gets any hotter.

Quote:
Security has deteriorated so badly in Iraq that Saudi Arabia has decided to build a 550-mile-long high-tech security fence. The Saudis are afraid that if Iraq has a hot civil war, Iraqis will try to flee as refugees to Saudi Arabia. They also are afraid that the nasty characters who blow up weddings and children buying ice cream will come to Saudi Arabia at some point. The Saudi security fence is a huge vote of no-confidence in the Iraq that Bush built. Let's put it this way. Americans think of the puritanical Wahhabis of Saudi Arabia as the most militant of the Muslims. Now, the Wahhabis of Saudi Arabia are saying that they are afraid of the Iraqis. What does that tell you? Or what does it tell the American public that the Saudi government views Iraq rather the way the Israeli government views the Palestinians?

Nawaf Obaid, director of the Saudi National Security Assessment Project, said, ". . . the feeling in Saudi is that Iraq is way out of control with no possibility of stability. The urgency now is to get that border sealed: physically sealed." He added that the Saudis are especially concerned about massive immigration of asylum seekers into the traditionally Shiite area of al-Hasa, where Saudi petroleum is. He said, "If and when Iraq fragments there's going to be a lot of people heading south and that is when we have to be prepared . . ."

The situation is dire in Iraq because we hear you speak more about it than the Islamists.

If Muslim clerics, the common voices that are usually calling for the death of a dissident, the Pope, to end freedom of speech or implement sharia, show no sign of interest in this Muslim but also Non-Muslim fratricide, then we know there's something wrong about it. Their silence is alarming: Iraq must be in the path to Shi'ite theocracy.

Saudi and Kuwait royal families are next on the hit list probably. Iran and Iraq likely soon to be allied with one thing on their mind, a United Arab Nation.

Biblically speaking I tend to believe the 'revived' Empire is that of the Turkish/Ottoman Empire not a European one. But thats another topic

They're feeling the pressure from Shi'a Iran, but they'll have to extend that wall to seal off Kuwait and Jordan, as well. And then they'll have to step up their patrols of the Arabian Gulf coast, and probably watch from Oman as well.

Hot hot hot hot hot Shi'a on Wahabbi love. Can you feel it?
