Some asked me on twitter whether I am critical of the Saudi opposition as I am of the Syrian opposition. My answer: you bet. I have cut off ties to a Saudi opposition organization because it served as a tool for Bush in 2004 and I told its head what I think of their role at the time. I had also cut off ties with a sectarian (Shi`ite) group that agreed to sell itself for King Fahd in 1994, and I told him what I thought of them too.
