As if the thought of a nuclear armed Iran wasn’t troubling enough, there is now talk that Saudi Arabia is considering the development of its own indigenous nuclear weapons program. According to reports out of the Middle East, Saudi scientists have called upon the government to begin work on a nuclear weapons research project. It remains unclear, however, how the Pampered Princes of Riyadh will act on this matter. While the Saudis have vigourously denied such reports, internal sources appear to conflict with such reports, just as they did iin the case of Iran and now Iran is just steps away from a full nuclear cpability.

Just as Iran cannot be allowed to develop a nuclear wepaon, nor can Saudi Arabia. While Iran’s embrace of radical Islam is more overt, the radical posion that originates from the mosques and schools of Arabia is no less virulent, lest we forget than most of the 9/11 hijackers were Saudis.

And while Saudi Arabia may spend millions on public relations in the United States, it is no less clear that Saudi Arabia is no friend of the United States and only our oil dependence gives the Saudis a pretext for civility. There can be no mistaking the fact that a nuclear armed Saudi Arabia will spell certain doom for millions of Americans, but here again we witness the fruits of appeasement, just as with North Korea, so went Iran and now Saudi Arabia? Who’s next, what nation of tyrants will soon learn that threats from the west are hollow promises, caring no consequiences whatsoever? Thus ensuring a world of nuclear proliferation and weapons of mass destruction.
