Saudi Arabia

Can we discard out of hand the notion that Saudi Arabia is to Islamism what the old Soviet Union was to Communism?  Can we reject out of hand that at the same time it is publicly condemning extremism that it is privately funding it?  Certainly, they seem to be funding the Syrian Islamists, and to be funding Muslim Brotherhood operatives the world over, who could usefully be compared to Communist International agents in the previous Cold War.

Can we hazard a guess that the co-conspirators on 9/11 were not in fact Americans–or not acting as Americans–but rather private mercenaries contracted by the Saudis in order to create a reason to invade Iraq, and to expand the scope of the American government?

Communists think on 50 year timelines.  Why can’t Islamists?  Why could they not fund through illegal campaign contributions and outright bribes a government which was all-powerful, which they could then in turn buy, as seems to have happened with Barack Obama?

Why could they not have a 100 year plan to convert the world through SUBVERSION first to leftist tyranny, then to imposed Islamism?  Why could they not employ the same tactics that Communists use?

Could it be that they rejected their non-permanent seat on the UN Security Council precisely to be LESS public in their opinions, so as to make their private actions less subject to and open to scrutiny?  Or was it a fit of pique that Obama wasn’t even honest enough to stay bought?

I don’t know.  I am missing a great many variables.  Good answers start with both good and numerous questions, though.
