From the LA TIMES opinion piece I quoted earlier today:
...On Tuesday, [the crown prince of Saudi Arabia] said: “There can be no acceptance or justification for terrorism. Nor is there a place for any ideology which promotes it.”
Finally! From 9-11 until now, we heard no such strong condemnations of terrorism from any Arab nations. On the contrary, we had stories like this:
NEW YORK (CNN) [Oct. 12, 2001]
—Mayor Rudy Giuliani said Thursday the city would not accept a $10 million donation for disaster relief from Saudi Prince Alwaleed bin Talal after the prince suggested U.S. policies in the Middle East contributed to the September 11 attacks.
No Arab nations, and few Arab commentators, spoke up to loudly condemn terrorism. This was a big tip-off that they were secretly supporting it.
Now that the terrorists are starting to destroy other Arabs, Arabic leaders are at last speaking out against them.
