Good Things and Bad Things

Well, the Saudi's killed their number one terrorist. This, to me, symbolizes two things, one good and one bad.

Good: I feel like if the Saudi's put their mind to it, they are capable of tracking down and killing Al Queda terrorists. I think the same goes for Pakistani's.

Bad: They have not committed themselves to doing so, unless under intense pressure. It seems like in selected cases, Prince Abdullah wins the day and convinces the security forces to win at all costs. But without intense pressure, Prince Nayef passively allows terrorism to ferment so long as it doesn't involve killing within the kingdom.
