BBC (March 22): Saudis criticise US reform plan

Saudis criticise US reform plan

Saudi Arabia's foreign minister has criticised US-led calls for reform in the Middle East.
Prince Saud al-Faisal said Arab nations could tackle their problems themselves.
He was speaking two days after talks in Riyadh with US Secretary of State Colin Powell - overshadowed by US criticism of the detention of Saudi reformists.
Prince Faisal said Washington's calls for reform ignored the fact that Arabs have cultures rooted in history and can handle their own affairs.
Washington believes a lack of democracy in Arab states has helped fuel Islamic militancy.

Wow. The House of Bush and House of Saud -- two of the most powerful elitist cabals in today's world -- are arguing about how to install democracy in the Middle East, something that would serve the interest of neither.

What is wrong with this picture?
