Oh well, as long as they didn’t kill any Saudis then it isn’t really murder and they are worth reforming. Makes perfect sense.

I worked in K.Saudi Arabia for eight years. During this time I was a fire/safety manager and had hundreds of Saudi’s under my supervision. Two of my firefighters went to Afghanistan to fight the Russians.When they came back they rarely spoke and certainly not to me. Something happened to their mental state as they were no longer sociable or happy men as before they went to their ‘holy war’.

first not all saudis are criminals or terrorist. there is good and bad in everyone of us. these men were brain washed by powerful groups to do their dirty business for them. the west have to do their part and erase the image currently held by many in the middle east that the west (or the US) have double standards and treat the arabs with less respect. we have to bridge the gap and invest in programs that will explain the interest of both sides. by educating the street people only then we can bring the differences of our people to an end.
