Quote:You're kidding.   People can't figure out why we didn't invade Saudi Arabia?   Invade Saudi Arabia???   They are our allies.   That's like saying we should invade Canada. 

Don't shoot the messenger. A lot of people thought, and still think, Saudi is to blame for the funding of 9/11 terrorists and because of that we should have invaded them. I don't know one way or the other but it looks like they could have and if they did then shame on them.

 

And just because a country calls themselves our ally doesn't mean if given the circumstances they wouldn't stab us in the back. Sometimes I think 99% of our foreign policy is the "the enemy of my enemy is my friend" mentality. They're not really our friends but because they're the enemy of our enemy then we accept them as a friend.
