An exclusive conversation with Saudi Foreign Minister Saud al-Faisal about Israel, Iran and the frustrations of Middle East diplomacy.
Comment: It's nice to see a Saudi King out of his country working for peace.
Comment: when the muslims secularize, give equal rights to women, allow freedom of religion, and free and fair elections, then I'd be more interested in what the saudis say.
Comment: He sure seems a smart guy .
Comment: Just an objective view point: Israel has non-disclosed nuclear weapons, though without any sancions by the US or the UN (the only country in the world that this has occured). They have been in violation of multiple UN sanctions themselves without any consequence as other nations have. So, there is a double standard when it comes to Israel. Other countries see that and are dismayed, frustrated, and no longer trust the US as an objective arbitrator in the Middle East. We always talk about the Islamic countries as religiously radical, but yet Israel is equally guilty of their religious zest in their Middle East foreign policy decisions. We want to resolve the serious issues of the Middle East, but we fail to understand that we must be objective and understand that there are over one billion people in the middle east that ask, why are we not listening to them, rather telling them how it has to be? Is this our Middle East foreign policy? Well, just some provactive thought, which I am sure is not politically correct. Yet, the truth is the truth.
Comment: These rubbish posts from extremist jews, claiming to be Americans, obvious from their every attempt to further the violent aspirations of Israel, from threatening Iraq, Syria, and Iran, need to be exposed for what they are. Coming from a state that used terrorism to establish itself, perpetuating itself on welfare and handouts from the western world, practicing the acquisition of WMDs, religious discrimination, ethnic cleansing, and forcibly disposessing Palestinians of their property to which they hold title. The Israelis practice the worst kind of oppression typical of the worst Middle Eastern states. As long as these practices are continued by this state called Israel, whose demographics for the future foretell its demise as a Jewish majority state, there will be little peace in that corner of the Middle East. The Saudi royal family has long been distressed at the injustices perpetrated on the Palestinians, they have spoken out voiciferously on occaison. it is time for an accounting from Israel. Nothing less will suffice.
Comment: Its interesting Saud thinks intervention with arab preconditions to peace are different than Irans preconditions for owning a nuclear bomb and administering peace.
What interests are in peace with one Palestinian faction if the rest of the Arab world can't agree that some factions simply aren't worth defending in their claims. I can't fathom a Muslim disenfranchisement of unpopular sects. It is contrary to their religious duty to disparage one of their own over a non believer.
There are two options. The palestinians, Iranians and all other Islamic states must legislate religion out of government and accept some universal principals such as equality, rule of international laws and fair trade practices. The other option is these peoples are simply contained and marginalized as much as practical.
