seems like Saudi Arabia is pushing a lot of our Mideast policy. do you think that's a welcomed assist for us?

we didn't get into the conflict for a LONG time for a reason. seems to me that something pushed us in and we've found a way out, accidentally. I'd be really surprised if we didn't take that option.
