(By the way, the Al Jazeera article illustrated some of the best reasons for attacking Iraq that I've heard of thus far. Potentially withdrawing from Saudi Arabia is a new idea to me, and it sounds appealing.)

You lost me on that "can be just as good" part. Tor.
I read we were building up other bases, in anticipation of pulling out of Saudi Arabia, before the war. I think we are worried about the royal family losing control and being caught off guard like we were in Iran.
Or we feel our presence is destabilizing the royal family.
